The Islanders are ready to reap the benefits of home-ice advantage again.<\/p>\n

Emerging from Pittsburgh with their first-round series<\/a> against the Penguins tied at one, the Isles were reminded of the influence fans can have on the atmosphere after PPG Paints Arena doubled its capacity from Game<\/a> 1 to Game 2.<\/p>\n

Coronavirus-related restrictions kept the Pittsburgh arena at 25 percent capacity in the Islanders\u2019 series-opening win on Sunday. Pennsylvania\u2019s regulations changed on May 17, enabling the building to host the largest crowd for a sporting event in the city in 14 months on Tuesday with 9,344 fans.<\/p>\n

The Penguins fed off the increased attendance and played with a spark that propelled them to victory. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt just gets me excited to get back to the (Nassau Coliseum),\u201d defenseman Scott Mayfield said after the Game 2 loss.<\/p>\n

Yes, now it\u2019s Nassau Coliseum\u2019s turn to host the next two games of the tight series, beginning Thursday at 7 p.m. It\u2019ll be up to Fort Neverlose to create an ambience that inspires like it frequently has in the past.<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s expected, considering the building\u2019s days as the Isles\u2019 home are numbered with the billion-dollar UBS Arena set to open for the 2021-22 season. Just in time for the last hurrah, the Coliseum will also be permitted to increase to 50 percent capacity \u2014 much more than the 1,400 cap the arena has had since March.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt raises the emotional level, especially for the home team,\u201d head coach Barry Trotz said of fans returning. \u201cIt seems strange. It\u2019s been quiet for the last little while. Now, I\u2019ve got people yelling at me, at the team and each other and you can\u2019t hear on the bench. It\u2019s a good feeling to be back to that. It brings juice to the game. It brings emotion. It brings all that. We\u2019re in the business of emotion, that\u2019s what sports is.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s what we\u2019re looking forward to when we get back to the Island. Our fans will hopefully give us that boost that we need to get over the top.\u201d<\/p>\n

Games 3 and 4 at the Coliseum are both sold out, with 6,250 fans expected to attend each contest. Prices ranged from $95 to $315, but season-ticket holders were given priority and will make up all of those in attendance. The arena will be divided into a fully-vaccinated section and a social<\/a>ly-distanced area.<\/p>\n

\u201cDue to high demand, the only way to get access to purchase playoff seats was to become a\u00a0Season Ticket Member\u00a0or\u00a0Premium Member\u00a0to UBS Arena,\u201d senior vice president of ticketing, Mike Cosentino, told The Post in an email. \u201cWe are over 90% sold through of season tickets,\u00a0over 80% sold through of premium inventory,\u00a0and\u00a0the response to this year\u2019s playoff tickets has been tremendous.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the playoffs last season, the Islanders competed in empty arenas inside isolated bubbles in Toronto and Edmonton. The Coliseum will surely make up for lost time, while also topping off its legacy as one of the most difficult arenas to play in for opponents.<\/p>\n

Oh, and if app<\/a>licable, tickets for Game 6 at the Coliseum will go on sale to season-ticket holders early next week.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
