Jumpman23January 11, 2013The Mecca. It’s the biggest, brightest stage on the planet, and fittingly home to Carmelo Anthony. Melo is ready to accept the responsibilities that come with defending the building’s legacy.
See that prodigious gentleman styling and profiling courtside in an effervescent suit? That’s Walt “Clyde” Frazier. Regardless of what foursquare says, he’s the mayor here.
Travel + LeisureJuly 30, 2012Score big with offerings from top New York restaurateurs, like the organic chicken sandwich at Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s Simply Chicken or the or the burger at Drew Nieporent’s Daily Burger.
Sarah JacksonOctober 5, 2015Not a bad seat in the house. Take the all access tour if you have some free time. It's worth it to see behind the scenes up close.
Julie SosciaJanuary 27, 2019Popular venue for concerts, basketball, hockey etc. Make sure to book a private tour for more history of MSG.
New York HabitatNovember 1, 2011Home to the NY Knicks and Rangers sports teams, MSG also serves as a venue for concerts & political rallies. You can enter the arena from Penn Station underground without even taking a step outside!
What's there for me to say about the legendary Madison Square Garden? Want to catch a basketball game? A concert by a world famous act? Come here! Don't buy any food though, unless you're rich.
Mark JonesMay 12, 2013One of the World's iconic venues... undergoing some renovation at the moment so doesn't look its best. However, if you get the chance to watch Ice Hockey here then grab it with both hands!
I like the upgrades they made but it still maintains its' historic appeal as the worlds most famous arena!!
Lance FiascoSeptember 30, 2015There's only one Madison Square Garden. It's the world's biggest stage - step inside -- you'll feel it!
Katerina AnnaDecember 7, 2014I loved the place. Definitely go and watch a game here, I've heard that's its last year so hurry up!
IrmaZandl ZandlSlantSeptember 16, 2019Saw Brandi Carlile here. And I am so glad I sprung for the 100 level seats. Very easy access/egress.
Ashley 🌵August 26, 2014What a historical place! Was here for a Michael Bublé concert in July 2014... Amazing! On to the next bucket list item...
Richard RevillaJanuary 18Iconic. Watching a Knicks game has tremendous energy. Put it on your bucket list.
LloydMay 11, 2013Home of the NY Knicks and NY Rangers. One of the most iconic and famous arena in the world. Many iconic figures performed in this legendary Garden.

Try the burgers and fries from the newly opened Daily Burger or the Italian Sausage from Sausage Boss at B tower! Delicious and doesn't hurt your pocket as much! -Your friendly MSG Intern
Martin MostrømOctober 20, 2017Just enjoy! The staff were awesome, no lines to to the drinks or food, neither to the toilet. Everything was just great!
Wonderful indoor stadium. They could use some new food and drink vendors though. Also not sure why tickets to everything are so expensive.
K13 NYCAugust 2, 2016The mass with Pope Francis in September was amazing!!!! The line took more than 2 hours, but it was worth the wait. God bless our Popes !!!- Try the burgers from the newly opened Daily Burger or the Italian Sausage from Sausage Boss at B tower on the 6th floor (100 level)! Delicious and not too pricey! -@NocturnalChino on twitter
The Wild Honey PieOctober 23, 2017The original structure built in 1879 had no roof. In 1890, it was demolished and a new arena was built.
Michael LOctober 31, 2014Welcome to "The Mecca" - Known as the world's most famous arena, come here to watch a Knicks or Rangers game, or your favorite band perform.
PaddyMarch 16, 2018I don’t like the place. It gets all the big concerts and all the terrible basketball you want to watch the Knicks play. It’s too big and I have major issues with how its events are ticketed!
TIMEFebruary 29, 2012Madison Square Garden is home to the New York Knicks, and more recently, the Linsanity surrounding breakout NBA star Jeremy Lin.
Luna Park Coney IslandJune 17, 2012Visitors to NYC shouldn't miss out on the beach, boardwalk and amusement parks waiting for them in historic Coney Island! Take the D, F, N or Q downtown through Brooklyn.
Carl GriffinDecember 25, 2015Wonderful sporting venue. You can catch some great ice hockey, basketball and boxing here.
Al BernsteinNovember 19, 2011The big arena feels like history when you announce a boxing match there. You can almost feel the ghosts of people like Sugar Ray Robinson, Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano and great announcer Don Dunphy.
- Take the subway! With Penn Station underneath The Garden, its much easier to get in and out via subway than by car...
Shockingly good acoustics for an arena. Concerts are great here.
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!
Kayleigh HarringtonApril 12, 2017The spicy fries at the Fuku concession stand are worth seeking out no matter what floor your seat is on.
Christopher WoodsJuly 18, 2015The worlds greatest arena! Seats are very comfortable with excellent amenities throughout.
HISTORYApril 22, 2010Opened in 1968, it is the longest active major sporting facility in the Metropolitan area & is the 4th incarnation of the arena in the city. The Garden hosts approximately 320 events a year.
D'Agostino SupermarketsJanuary 31, 2012Madison Square Garden is the third busiest music venue in the world. The fastest ticket sale was Taylor Swift's Concert in 2009, when her show sold out in about 60 seconds!
the remodel looks amazing!! did a very good job! I don't feel like I'm walking through a subway anymore!! love the new Jumbotron too!!
Michelle😑December 1, 20199 out of 10 worlds say it’s the most famous arena. The tenth one says it’s just aight.

At $14.95, the pastrami sandwich at the Carnegie deli is perhaps the only food bargain in the Garden. Tasty too
Amazing venue for sports and concerts. Box seats are clutch
Fluying ✅October 31, 2023Iconic sports and music venue. Every great artist performed at least once here
Hans LuzJanuary 23, 2016At NY heart! Saw a Knicks game fast to get in and get to seats, awesome lights and sound 😄🙋
