The Mets Police: Kansas City Islanders: No Way Lighthouse Gets Built Like This

Kansas City Islanders: No Way Lighthouse Gets Built Like This

Sorry to make you click an extra link but Newsday's embed code for this story isn't liking me today.

Take a look at this video at what Charles Wang wants to build for the Islanders.

There's no way in a billion years that's ever getting built. Oh maybe he gets an arena out of this, but whatever I'm looking at with a minor league baseball stadium (?) and an artificial lake or whatever that water is - good luck.

If anyone from Kansas City is reading this, you might want to show up at the exhibition game this fall.

In an interview before yesterday's Hempstead Town board meeting, Wang was asked if scheduling the Islanders for a September exhibition game in Kansas City, Mo., had been a subtle way of getting the county to take action on the Lighthouse Project - and therefore a new Nassau Coliseum. "I don't think it was that subtle," he said.

If You're Visiting For The First Time

If you are visiting The Mets Police for the first time, welcome.

This blog aims to be a little different. We're less likely to complain about a pitching change than we are likely to complain about what the pitcher was wearing.

We're about Mets history and tradition. We'd like to see a Seaver statue at Citi Field. We'd like the black uniforms to go away. We'd like the team to always treat the fans with respect.

We're just regular old Mets fans like you who have migrated from the uppers to the Promenade where we were saddened when we found plexiglass. Finally, for all our complaining we just want the franchise to win the World Series (while nicely dressed).

The site is updated several times a day, usually morning, noon, and night (cliche but true) with other items as they come in.

Mets Police in no way claims to be news nor accurate, including anything to which we link. It's just a blog. Read the blog and/or take our advice at your own risk.

We strongly encourage everyone to support the New York Mets and their business partners, just don't wear a black jersey while doing so.

Welcome!
