The Long Island, N.Y., venue could be in for a renovation.
Newsday reports New York Community Bank bought the naming rights to the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale.
The arena will be renamed the “Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum Presented By New York Community Bank” when it reopens in April. The venue closed last year.
Officials with the company overseeing the project say the bank also bought the naming rights to the arena’s future retail and entertainment district.
The 77-acre plaza will include shops, restaurants, a movie theater and a nightclub. It will be known as “NYCB Live.”
The cost of the naming rights and the length of the agreement weren’t immediately released.
