Brooklyn Trying To Land Islanders For 2015

Aug 03, 2012 12:25 AM EST

Brooklyn is attempting to get the Islanders to relocate to the Barclays Center in 2015.

"I am trying like hell to get the Islanders to make Barclays Center their new hockey home," Brooklyn Nets minority owner and Barclays CEO Bruce Ratner told the New York Daily News.

The Islanders currently play at Nassau County Coliseum, one of the worst facilities in the NHL.

While Barclays will seat 18,000 for basketball, it would only seat 14,500 for hockey.
