UBS Arena is a $1.1 billion multi-purpose arena under construction and development 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, UBS Arena is one of the few venues in the world designed with a sharp focus on music and will create one of the best and most special experiences for both artists and audiences. The state of the art arena will deliver an unmatched live entertainment experience with clear sightlines and premier acoustics to even more guests than ever before.
Dime Community Bank will be UBS Arena's exclusive retail and commercial banking partner and home to the arena's operating accounts. The Dime and UBS Arena collaboration includes unique access opportunities for Dime customers, such as the ability to enter through a co-branded VIP entrance regardless of where their seat is located, discounts at select food and merchandise locations, and access to unique onsite experiences such as behind the scenes tours, mascot and alumni meet and greets, on ice postgame photographs, and many others. Additionally, the largest private club in UBS Arena will bear Dime's name. With its 30' ceilings and loft space like feel, the Dime Club resembles the great Soho Lofts, featuring large scale photography paying homage to the galleries and creative talent that continue to transform New York. The club will accommodate 1,300 lower bowl ticket holders during games, concerts, and other special events.
In addition, as a result of the partnership, Dime will have access to 2,000 arena employees and Dime employees will have opportunities to attend select arena games and concerts and to participate in Dime community service events with Islanders' talent.
"This is an unrivaled moment for the history of our bank," said Kevin O'Connor, CEO of Dime Comunity Bank. "A high profile partnership like this with the premier event facility across our expanding footprint will mean more benefits for our customers and more opportunity for our employees. As we continue to grow, we will use these collaborations to project the community focus and customer service that set our bank apart."
"Dime Community Bank is a notable addition to our list of Founding Partners and we could not be more excited for our guests to experience the Dime Club at UBS Arena," said Tim Leiweke, CEO of Oak View Group. "Their unwavering commitment to helping neighborhoods flourish and supporting communities in and around the arena aligns with our mission. We look forward to collaborating in these areas as we move forward."
UBS Arena will open for the 2021-2022 National Hockey League season this fall and host more than 150 sports and live entertainment events annually. For more information about the construction of UBS Arena and its upcoming events, visit
