UBS, a financial services company, has secured a 20-year deal for the naming rights of the arena being built at Belmont Park. According to Sportico’s Scott Soshnick, a source has said the deal will pay the team a minimum of $275 million.
New York Islanders co-owner Jon Ledecky said this in a statement:
"UBS Arena will stand as a beacon of strength, resilience, achievement and community, and we look forward to celebrating this milestone with our loyal fans."
