Bruce Ratner and Brett Yormark are expanding their sports business this weekend, and the biggest cheers won't be for dunks, but for spikes. The AVP professional volleyball circuit will be playing a nationally televised series of matches in Coney Island, sponsored by "Brooklyn Sports and Entertainment", Ratner's sports management company. Yormark has overseen the construction of a temporary 4,000-seat outdoor arena and made arrangements with NBC to broadcast it.
