Madison Square Garden is arguably the most famous venue in sports
history. MSG was built in 1968 and is the home of the New York
Knicks of the NBA, the New York Rangers of the NHL, the New York
Liberty of the WNBA, and the St. John’s University Red Storm
men’s basketball team. Madison Square Garden underwent a
$200 million renovation project in 1991 and is still in wonderful
condition even though it’s more than 35 years old. There
is no parking available at the building itself but you can take
the subway that will drop you off just outside of Madison Square
Garden. The nearest airport is within 10 miles of Madison Square
Garden and the Knicks have retired many players into their hall
of fame, most notably Walt Frazier (#10), Earl “The Pearl”
Monroe (#15), Willis Reed (#19), and Bill Bradley (#24). Madison
Square Garden features 89 luxury suites and 540 club level seats
for the fans as well. The average price for a ticket to a game
at Madison Square Garden is one of the most expensive in the league
but in defense of Madison Square Garden, you’re not just
paying for a seat at the game, you’re also paying for a
chance to be a part of history and attend an event at one of the
most famous buildings in the world.
