I agree. I doubt it is Nassau County since they are broke, their finances are overseen and must be approved by a State Panel since the County has proven they cannot handle their own budget and they would not pony up money to build a new arena for the Islanders.

I can't see why the Cosmos could not continue to play at the existing facility at Hofstra. I find it hard to believe that they draw more fans than the Hofstra soccer team.
