Islanders: we appreciate our fans!


In a town where Major league teams have pushed away their most loyal of fans for the corporate big wigs there is a team who dares to be different. The Mets and Yankees open their brand new multi million dollar stadiums open next week and look beautiful and The Jets and Giants new stadium is coming along well but all these new Buildings come at a cost to the fans. The increased prices at both have made it hard for the die hards and families to come to the ball park and have a reasonable, nice day. With parking at a ridiculous price of $18 at citi field and With PSL's at the new Medowlands stadium is there any team that looks out for any of its loyal die hards? The answer is yes and the team is the Islanders. Although suffering one of the toughest season in many years the team has gone out of its way to show its fans they are loved. Although food prices are still steep at the old barn the deals they have run has made it affordable to bring whole family to a game with family packages that include food, hates and tickets for everyone at a reasonable price. Along with packages like the break away bundle the Islanders have made it easy to come and enjoy hockey in time when everyone is hurting. Culminating with fan appreciation weekend where they are offering buy one get one free deals for the two season finally games at the coliseum this weekend. With the rest of New York's sports teams pushing fans away the Islanders have opened their doors and are saying to theirs "we appreciate you!"
