In the playoffs, there was not a better place to be as a fan, a louder place to play as a player or tougher game to play as an opponent. There was nothing like a sold out Coli in springtime. It was magical. I’m thankful I got to experience it firsthand. #isles.
The NY Isanders recently left their original home but for those who never got to see a game a Nassau Coliseum what was it like? The sights, sounds, smells, and feels. Share a memory. #Isles. (This is a real fun video from @13barzal).
