That is where McLean Avenue comes in... first Irish or domestic drafts for each person providing a used ticket stub for post game fun. It is funny, every time I go down to McLean for dinner or breakfast, I always wear some Iona gear as so many of the kids working over there go to the college. They are always quick to come over and introduce themselves. A few weeks back it was a member of the rugby team who was in grabbing breakfast and one of the waitresses , both came over to tell me they were currently at the college. We would also have to work with the City of New Rochelle and the City of Yonkers to make sure they have bus service with stops at Iona, Empire city and McLean... and have them running late in the evening. I miss going to Rory Dolan's. Before or after Sunday game!

Empire City now all in for one of the three full-scale NYS licenses... submitting their application in January. www.lohud.com/story/news/local/westchester/2022/11/28/empire-city-casino-in-yonkers-to-seek-full-scale-casino-license/69654413007/

Will there be an arena involved? MGM appears to be holding its cards close to its chest right now. Should they obtain the full-scale license, heavy odds expansion will include an arena (since it's been talked about ad nauseam).

Has there been ANY movement on this?

Would the 5K entertainment center be able to become a BB arena? Print was small and I didn't see anything that specified sports.

Most of the entertainment centers I have seen in casinos are not built for sports viewing. Having said that, the artist rendering in this article looks like an arena setup, which would be convertible into a sports venue. Probably too early to know for sure, but a good question to ask the developers.

It will be a haven for degenerates! Do you mean people who want to gamble? Serious question. Will create a LOT of jobs.

Not arguing the point, but I see all the ads on TV promoting gambling. And if you read this Board you know that college BB does the same thing. I go back to the days of bookies and numbers betting. Nothing new, but there must be a reason why cities/towns want casinos.
