{"product_id":"nassau-veterans-memorial-coliseum-nicholas-hirshon-9781531648367","title":"Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum","description":"Succeeding an air force base on the Hempstead Plains, Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum debuted in 1972 as Long Island's foremost sports and entertainment mecca. Its first tenants were a mediocre basketball team and expansion hockey club. Both appeared unlikely to foster a winning attitude, yet soon emerged as champions. Julius \"Dr. J.\" Erving dunked the New York Nets to two titles, and the Islanders launched a star-studded Stanley Cup dynasty. Over the decades, the coliseum has also hosted presidents, legendary musicians, the NHL All-Star Game, and WrestleMania 2. Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum chronicles, for the first time ever, the history of a suburban arena that has often garnered the national spotlight.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nicholas Hirshon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1531648363\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781531648367\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing Library Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/22\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.91lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.38d","brand":"Nicholas Hirshon","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43995745976575,"sku":"9781531648367","price":31.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_eaa164bd-29c9-46c8-802d-a803257649c3.jpg?v=1683337600","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nassau-veterans-memorial-coliseum-nicholas-hirshon-9781531648367","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
