The five parking lots are the Belmont Park Garage, Emerald Parking, Silver Parking, Diamond Parking, and Ruby Parking. Pre-purchasing parking before an event is recommended to avoid traffic and lines.
For New York Islander games, parking lots open 3.5 hours before the game, and for all other events, parking opens two hours before. Parking closes 90 minutes after the event ends.
All tickets must be on your mobile device to enter the arena. Bags must be smaller than 12″ x 12″ x 6″ to enter, with a bag check available in the Great Hall for larger bags.
Medical bags and diaper bags will be permitted after a screening. Other prohibited items include, but are not limited to, weapons, professional cameras or equipment, laptops, and outside food or beverages.
The Elmont Station on the Long Island Rail Road is the closest train station to the arena, but it still requires a 15-minute walk to reach the arena. The walkway is covered, which was appreciated during the heavy rain at a game I saw.
