I found Islanders fans to be one of the more knowledgable and passionate of anyone in the US. As long as the team isn't a complete joke like it was for a good 2 decades there, they won't have issues filling this stadium....especially now that this building will be back on their turf again (there are plenty of Long Islanders who just don't go into the City, period).

Can you provide evidence they have ever supported the Islanders to the tune of 18k? Hard to say without any doubt a fan base that's never put an average of 16k into a building even when they were winning Stanley Cups can do 18k.
