It's a big week for one of the Long Island's most recognizable landmarks.
The Nassau Coliseum is turning 50!
The Uniondale arena first opened on Feb. 11, 1972.
It's hosted countless concerts, sporting events, and more.
Of course, it's most famous for being the Old Barn, the former home of the New York Islanders.
