After officially winning the bid to return to Long Island, the Islanders organization revealed that they plan on building a brand new arena for the team and it looks like it’s going to be gorgeous based off the artist renderings the team shared on Wednesday evening.

Part of the winning bid includes a brand new 18,000-seat arena, a hotel, and nearly 450,000 square feet of retail space.

The Islanders called Long Island home from 1972 until 2015 when they relocated to the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, but now they’re returning home and their fan base couldn’t be happier.
