Wanted to add this. I forgot who the poster was but a suggestion was made about parking in the Home Depot Lot on Hempstead Tpke and walking to the UBS Arena in lieu of taking an Uber or paying $45 to park. While it is not a bad hike to get to the beginning of the grounds of Belmont, you still have a lot further to go to get to the Arena itself. The Belmont property is HUGE!! In addition, the Home Depot property (used to be TSS and Great Eastern? when I was a kid) has several additional stores including a Target, Applebee's so the lot is pretty packed.
As far as walking in that part of Elmont, back many years ago as was alluded to in the post the area was I'd say not great. Much better now however driving is another thing. I've been assisting a relative and driving them around and there are these kids and young adults who are riding ATVs (which are not street legal) on Hempstead Turnpike and Elmont Road (and I am sure SUVs) who are a menace to traffic. They are "popping wheelies" and riding with the front end in the air and doing tricks (which if at an exhibition wouldn't be at least entertaining but not while driving on a public street with other motorists). The cops won't chase them because of their "pursuit guidelines" so they just are running rampant.
Lastly, there are some side streets in both Queens Village and Elmont near the arena that you could try to park also but not sure how things are round there.

Not sure how many of you have flexible schedules on Friday, but if I were able to attend I'd probably go for an early dinner at King Umberto's, leave my car somewhere around Meacham Ave. and Hepstead Turnpike, and Uber it. I'm sure the bus line is a straight shot too.
Not sure whatever became of St. Vincent de Paul, but if I were the new church there I'd severely undercut Belmont parking and make an easy $1,500 per event.

AD has done a great job at getting students involved. This game means a lot more than any other as enthusiam can be infectious or it can disappear. A win tomorrow night will get students more involved as the season goes forward.mjmaherjr post=444862 said:Amazing how sales pick up once word gets out mjmaherjr is making his first appearance of the year
My family and I enjoy King Umberto's. There is usually parking in the street or the small lot across from the restaurant. I am not sure what I am going to do yet. $45.00 seems like robbery.L J S A post=444859 said:
I went to see St Francis play Fordham last night and was charged $20.00 to park on Fordham's campus. Everyone is trying to hustle you nowadays. The shame of it is there were no more than 300 people at the game.

Anticipated attendance now approaching 11,000. Very important for our future opportunities at a sparkling new arena.
Fyi, I drove past yesterday. Almost overnight a new parking garage south of hempstead turnpike is going up, probably result in a lower cost parking option than emerald, which is near arena. I hope all fans use the underpass. when nits done. Lots of fatalities on hempstead turnpike

St vincent depaul is still an rc church. Sundays have a mass in malayalam for indian Catholics. 10% of india is catholic thanks to the missionary evangelization by jesuits hundreds of years ago.
You are right, though. The lot is huge. The parish is very diverse, which is great. When my kids were small we'd take them there because father tom Hartman said sunday mass and he was amazing.
