Two events, two crowds, one island

Print

This summer, Long Island has been busy with numerous sporting events, including the U.S. Open and the Belmont Stakes which resulted in a Triple Crown. Newsday covered both events and captured the juxtaposition between the fan atmospheres: the stoic and reserved U.S. Open, and the raucous and loud Belmont Stakes.   (Credit: Newsday / Staff)
