As for the Nets, I'm not sure. I haven't been to a game since probably 2000. I know the Knicks were always expensive as hell... the only game I've been to at MSG was a preseason one back in '98.
Hockey doesn't do much for me, but I know if the Columbus Blue Jackets don't start winning, people are going to stop going. Then it's off to Kansas City, and the entire downtown economy of Ohio's biggest city and capital is based on the Blue Jackets drawing people downtown.

The Islanders' arena is a mess and has been for a while. There's been some occasional upgrades and talk of bigger upgrades... but also talk of them moving into the Brooklyn arena spoken about earlier in this thread.

Even though I'm a Ranger fan, having the Isles a 10 minute walk away would be cool. Only hang up: When they designed the new Nets arena in BK they didn't plan for hockey. how stupid is that? How could you not plan for bigger events? That's why this stadium isn't getting done, too many assholes who don't think are the ones running the show.

As a Jets fan living in Jersey, I can't complain that they play in Jersey since the stadium is easier to get to when I have tickets. Plus the stadium isn't far from NYC, the skyline is visible from the parking lot.
