Amazing venue for sports and concerts. Box seats are clutch
Welcome to CollegeFebruary 16, 2011Hosted the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship 7 times between 1943 - 1950, ranking 2nd behind Municipal Auditorium in Kansas City who hosted it 9 times. Bring it back...the history here is amazing!
Emily Punkimeowmeow del CastilloJanuary 23, 2011I attended the BEST concerts at MSG - Prince, Madonna, Black Eyed Peas, Gwen Stefani, The Police, B-52's, Depeche Mode. I think of it as a place of worship for the best in music.
Dearsha ShannayApril 13, 2013Have fun for way u do make it fun for u and your and inployees and you will be happy just like your customers
Beginning of Dec 2011 and just 1 of the new fancy food options is open: Blue Hill BBQ on 2nd Fl. They serve pie! Head down before the period ends to avoid the crowd
If you tip the concession vendor $1 he'll give you your bottle caps back!
Gray Line New YorkNovember 22, 2011Sports fan visiting NYC? Catch a game at this giant indoor arena home to the NHL New York Rangers of the NHL, the New York Knicks of the NBA and the New York Liberty of the WNBA.
Tim ConheeneyNovember 29, 2011There's a power outlet on the front of the CVS Rx area. Not sure if you're supposed to use it but it's the only 1 I found outside the waiting areas & I was able to charge my phone w/out a hassle.

Retro CampaignsJanuary 10, 2012On November 5, 1932, when the Garden was located on Eighth Avenue (MSG III), Franklin Roosevelt gave the final speech of his presidential campaign there. Read the text of his address at the link. Read more
Brittney PotterNovember 26, 2019Watched a Rangers Hockey Game! Fun experience. All the food and drinks seem to be $14.
Home of the New York Rangers, one of the most famous hockey-teams on the planet. The music during warm-ups WAY TOO LOUD!
I had a great time for the Phish run, but they a tobacco lounge.
Good venue for concerts and basketball games, but sadly prevents a nicer Penn Station
Tricia LaGraceDecember 29, 2013Best place to see a show!!!! Especially, New Year's Run with PHISH!!!!
ChaffroDecember 7, 2010I came here on a date night with Tyra Banks to watch the NY Knicks play. Admittedly, we were about 80 rows apart and on opposite sides of the court, but I'm still claiming it. Celebrity hangout!

JoeNovember 20, 2010Be especially wary of power failures during Rangers games, as they may cause the unbathed stench of Rangers fans to waft through the arena. If the Devils are in town, the combination is hazardous.
Super tight seats with less legroom than an airplane. Get aisles if you can.
SeatcrewNovember 1, 2011If you're thirsty before the game, slip down into Penn Station and grab a 24 oz. beer and a hot pretzel for under $4.
Geert MaertensJune 30, 2018If you wanna get a beer take two before the gig. Everything closes even 20 min before the end of the concert. What a shame.
Madison Square Garden, often abbreviated as MSG and known colloquially as The Garden, is a multi-purpose indoor arena in the New York City borough of Manhattan.
Amazing Lobster Roll at the Main Concourse! (Around section 118)
When the Blue Shirts put the puck in the net & the red lights come on, be prepared to scream, “Whoa-oh-oh, LET’S GO RANGERS!”
ともりんJanuary 13, 2017Much closer to the court than I thought! Drinks are also more expensive than I expected!
Joseph LegastoNovember 2, 2023Take only the essentials—MSG actually has a separate expedited line for those without bags!- Aolani SmytheMarch 31, 2013#ASOT600NTC best ever epic legit celebration of #StateOfTrance by the great #TranceMasterDJ #ArminVanBuuren #best #topdj #trance #edmlife ever!!
Brad ZickafooseOctober 23, 2014Great venue to see a concert and soak in all the history that came before you.
Christine Manikas WanugaFebruary 2, 2013Great view from the bar stool section next to the handicap seats in the 200s.
Madrid2020June 6, 2013It cost $1.1 billion to build-among the top-10 most expensive in the world. Seating: Basketball - 19,033; Ice hockey - 17,200; Concerts - 20,000; Boxing: 20,789. Amazing!
Kassia GrahamApril 16, 2013Side seats are meh for concerts. Grab floor (standing) tickets, or seats in the center if you can afford it. Avoid section 221.
Jean CweetFebruary 28, 2011This 42-year-old arena is preparing to undergo a wholesale overhaul for $775-$850 million. It'll include floor-level luxury suites and two pedestrian bridges suspended over the playing surface.
Alvaro de SouzaJanuary 16, 2015Cool structure and organization. I've been here to watch Louis CK and there's nothing to complain.
If you have GA for Phish you'd better get there early (7:15pm) for the long line to get into the floor. Seperate entrance on the side of the venue. Horrible!
Leigh SansoneNovember 14, 2012Turns out, section 209 is nearly as high as the 3 and 400 sections... My nose is bleeding.... :)
Rindaanne RiccioNovember 30, 2011During the Christmas season you are guaranteed to be entertained by the salvation army guys! Donate and spread some Christmas cheer! :)
Alex HennesseyAugust 23, 2015If you can somehow score luxury box tickets, GO. Even if the band is crappy....
