The Madison Square Garden is one of the most famous arenas in the world and also one of the highest-grossing venues to boot. The Garden is home to the New York Knicks and New York Rangers and has been the scene of countless big moments in New York's history. The arena is located in the heart of Manhattan at Pennsylvania Plaza, and it can be reached quite easily from New York's subway system. The building opened in 1968 and is the longest active major sporting facility in the New York metropolitan area. Along with its robust history of sporting moments, musicians hail it as one of the hallmarks of their careers - you know that you've finally arrived when you can play a show at the Garden!
Soon after the Garden opened, the New York Knicks gave fans the only two banners in their history during the 1970 and 1973 seasons. Behind the strength of Walt Frazier, Bill Bradley and Willis Reed, the Knicks knocked off the juggernaut Los Angeles Lakers during both title runs. Sadly, New York Knick fans have not had much to cheer about in recent years, but the Garden remains one of the most popular venues in sports and opposing players relish the chance to perform on the big stage.
New York Rangers fans' stomachs turned for years at the Garden when opposing fans would chant "1940," alluding to the supposed curse thwarting the team's efforts because they burned their old lease to the Garden inside the Stanley Cup in 1940. However, fans enjoyed a storybook run in 1994 when the Rangers enjoyed the incredible play of Mark Messier, Mike Richter and Brian Leetch to capture their first Stanley Cup in 54 years. It is still one of the most hallowed moments in New York sports history and the Garden was the setting for the decisive Game 7.
The Madison Square Garden has also hosted countless musical acts over the years and performers relish the chance to take the most jaw-dropping stage in the industry. The venue is particularly effective for concerts as the court level is opened up for standing seats and the arena is known for its stunning acoustics. Performers ranging from Led Zeppelin to Madonna have performed on the Garden stage, helping it to continually remain one of the most stunning venues in all of sports and entertainment.
