When a Team's Home Ice Is Someone Else's Home

Are even the New York Islanders sick of gentrified Brooklyn?

The New York Post reports that the hockey team and the Barclays Center are looking into an escape clause in their 25-year lease that would become an option four years into the deal. Currently in their first season in Brooklyn, Islanders' fans have complained of getting the short shrift compared to the underperforming Brooklyn Nets, whose owner -- Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov recently bought the remainder of the team and arena from Bruce Ratner's Forest City Enterprises -- also own the arena.
