"We are thrilled to have Hyundai join as a Founding Partner and are excited for fans to enjoy the impressive Islanders experience being curated for the Hyundai Club," said Tim Leiweke, CEO of Oak View Group. "Having Hyundai be a part of our opening of this world class venue speaks volumes to what we are building at Belmont Park."
Hyundai will also have two vehicles displayed within the building itself. Hyundai's all-new Tucson SUV will reside in the Great Hall while its flagship SUV, the Hyundai Palisade, will be stationed on the main concourse. The Tucson in the Great Hall will be wrapped and branded in a New York Islanders theme, giving fans the opportunity for a unique photo moment.
"The Hyundai Club is a space that our passionate Islanders fans have been waiting for to celebrate the rich history of our franchise while enjoying a game live," said Jon Ledecky, Co-Owner of the New York Islanders. "We thank Hyundai for their support of both the New York Islanders and UBS Arena."
"Hyundai is proud to be a Founding Partner of the new home for the Islanders and New York's newest entertainment hub," said Angela Zepeda, CMO, Hyundai Motor America. "This partnership connects our brand and local dealerships with one of hockey's storied franchises. It's a great opportunity to showcase our latest vehicles with the team's passionate fans."
UBS Arena at Belmont Park is a $1.1 billion multi-purpose venue that is finishing construction adjacent to the Belmont Park racetrack. The world-class entertainment venue, with its timeless and classic design, will bridge its iconic past with today's advanced technology and amenities. In addition to being the new home to the famed New York Islanders Hockey Club, the state-of-the-art arena, opening November 20, 2021, will deliver an unmatched live entertainment experience with clear sight lines and premier acoustics.
