UBS Arena

Elmont, New York, United States

Why it matters

UBS Arena is a purpose-built modern arena on the Belmont Park grounds, opened in 2021 as the Islanders’ permanent home. For concerts it offers the scale of a New York arena without feeling like another Manhattan building, and the hockey-first design keeps the bowl relatively tight.

Getting there

Use the Elmont-UBS Arena LIRR station and the event shuttle for the final hop to the building. Trains run from both Penn Station and Grand Central. Drivers should enter the exact parking lot in navigation because the Cross Island Parkway approach changes by lot.

Bag policy

Before travelling to UBS Arena, open its official A–Z, FAQ or guest guide and confirm the concert's bag dimensions. A small essentials-only setup is the safest choice when an event notice is more restrictive.

Local tips

The LIRR is the cleanest way in. Trains run to Elmont-UBS Arena from Penn Station and Grand Central, with a walk or free shuttle from the station. If you drive, buy parking before the show and use the lot name in your GPS because the Cross Island Parkway exits differ by parking area.
