In his State of the County address this week, Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano revealed his latest plans for the Nassau County Veterans Memorial Coliseum.

The plans, based on recommendations by Forest City Ratner Companies chief Bruce Ratner, include “right-sizing” the Coliseum into a 8,000- to 12,000-seat arena that would attract smaller acts.

Nassau County released a request for proposals to firms to develop the aging arena, which is losing its main tenant, the New York Islanders, in 2015. The Islanders are moving to the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, which was developed by Ratner.

The RFP gives preference to a a bidder with “a commitment from a professional sports franchise” to play at the arena. Mangano said he would like to see the new Coliseum have a renovated exterior, wider concourses, new restaurants and better bathrooms.

Any winning bidder would pay the entire cost of the renovation, lease it the Coliseum from the county, which includes paying an annual rent based on a percentage of revenue, and be responsible for all maintenance.

The new proposals comes on the heels of multiple failed ones, including the Lighthouse project proposed by Islanders owner Charles Wang, and Mangano’s 2011 plan to build a $400 million publicly funded arena that was voted down in a public referendum.
