Hans LuzJanuary 23, 2016At NY heart! Saw a Knicks game fast to get in and get to seats, awesome lights and sound 😄🙋
Spacious venue. Great place to watch sports games, concerts or shows.
Nancy GarciaJanuary 6, 2013Sundays are nice here. Pork ribs, pork sausage and the brisket were all great. Don't really need much BBQ sauce, it's really well cooked.
#Sami HeadsinkNovember 8, 2012@headsink Sang Merdeka of Malaysia, #FFF Fight for freedom, I wish can perform here infront of thousands and scream Corr Pi to the audience bringing the vibe of my native Malay Peninsular and Borneo
Did you know? The fastest sellout of Madison Square Garden was Taylor Swift in 2009, when she sold out the venue in 60 seconds.
- Did you know? Elton John holds the all-time greatest number of shows at the Garden, playing there a total of 62 times.
- Lisa Marie Phoenix JacksonJanuary 16, 2011recently have been going over pictures captured @ The Garden in 2010. For large scale concerts,Id recommend sections A-F, J the most. For basketball,Id recommend the 1-15row from courtside or sky box.
I have performed here a few times because I love New York!! I ❤️NY!!!
AA3MKJanuary 5, 2018It’s OK, but even with the major renovations a couple of years ago, it’s a 40+ year old arena. Corridors are narrow, concession stands always crowded. Location at Penn Station can’t be beat.
Unlocked by TuanHajiUder on Tue Nov 12, 2013 at 11:46 PM at Madison Square Garden in New York, NY. #Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Talib Kweli and BIG K.R.I.T.
While outdated as far as modern arena facilities go, it's still a pretty magical place to catch a game.
Gabriel HayesSeptember 16, 2015While the experience for games and concerts may be better at Barclays Center, nothing matches the atmosphere of a star performer (whether in sports or music) in MSG.
Michael VierraAugust 12, 2014This is it. The famous MSG and for good reason. Amazing venue for sports, concerts basically anything!
Rob HunwickApril 5, 2015It may seem strange but they have good toilets up in the higher stands - splash free. Other stadiums and bars could take note.
Breno PiresSeptember 27, 2012Be patient if you're gonna buy a ticket, long lines, but awesome place, the best arena for sure. Variety of shows and games.
What an awesome place to visit and have fun. There is so much to do in Madison Square Garden
The PBR comes to NYC every January. It is amazing highly recommend this for all ages!! Super talented athletes as well as a great side show by rodeo clown.
If you're here for a sold out event, eat early and on the lower level. The top level is a mad house at intermissions.
Lindsey NagyApril 3, 2014The #skywalk is open to any/all patrons with a ticket to a MSG event. Check it out!
- They've "renovated" but this non-modern marvel never should've replaced the Penn Station that preceded it. For basketball and hockey, it's the most overpriced arena experience in the nation.
If you're sitting in the upper rows of the 200 sections, your view of the GardenVision scoreboard will be obstructed by the Chase Bridges.
Brittney PotterNovember 26, 2019Watched a Rangers Hockey Game! Fun experience. All the food and drinks seem to be $14.
AlexDecember 9, 2014One of the best sport venues in the world. Vertical, confortable seats, great facilities/amenities
If u can be in a suite, its the way to go. No liquids allowed
Keep in mind @TheGarden does NOT open many of the restaurants for non-@nyknicks and non-@nyrangers events; even if it's a sold-out concert/event
Got bronx pale ale on tap amongst many other local breweries while watching the game
Marine CorpsJanuary 5, 2012Known as the 'Fighting Marine,' Nick Barone won a 10-round decision against Jimmy Beau here in 1950. Before fighting in the ring, Barone served in the USMC and fought during the Battle of Iwo Jima.

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.
On Sunday August 28th 2016. The 2016 VMA Video Music Awards were held here. Beyonce - Formation won The Video Of The Year Award.
The Big East Tournament has been played here since 1983. That year, a young sharpshooter by the name of Chris Mullin won the ‘ship and MVP for St. John’s.
ClaudiaNovember 4, 2017Classy venue, comfortable seats and efficient operation. The staff is helpful.
JacK MuchlisApril 29, 2011Opened 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.
Theres like a museum of memorabilia of events all around this stadium
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!
Connie ChiuFebruary 5, 2015Iconic. One of my favorite stadiums. Clean, orderly, and tons of ladies restrooms!

Marlon BrownNovember 28, 2015As an international, I found the prices of the food to be on the high end. So I suggest that you eat before going or prepare to spend the extra for the food.
Alvaro de SouzaJanuary 16, 2015Cool structure and organization. I've been here to watch Louis CK and there's nothing to complain.
McDonald's New York MetroJuly 30, 2012It's another MSG high energy night. Keep the buzz going! Swing by with your crew before hitting the subway. We're open 24/7 at 429 7th Ave. (34th St.) MSG
HashtagNYUAugust 17, 2016Some schools have their NYU graduation ceremonies here!
Cleasaí an DuineAugust 4, 2015The acoustics were great for concerts. The staff, however, are very aggressive. Pack lots of patience because it will be tested.- 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!”
