Best arena for concerts and games in the heart of NYC. It's a must visit for a sports event and a concert. If you haven't seen the energy of people in MSG, you haven't witnessed NY!

Historical, known world-wide. There are no tips besides the recommendation to put down your phone and take it all in. It's fine through a recent renovation, maintains it's classic feel. Enjoy!

Although a bit confusing and crowded when you enter, once you get in it’s a great place to watch a basketball game. Intimate!

The food in the suites is amazing! If you have to buy food, beware, it's 10x more than what you think! Spent $70 on two sandwiches and 2 drinks!

Obviously one of the best auditoriums in the world, convenient location, near of transportation and friendly staff.Not many food options compared with other arenas and not many souvenir spots. Like it

Most famous sports arena in North America and one of the better large venues for concerts. Slick ticket processing, comfy seats and great acoustics all around. The atmosphere will give you life!!

Expanding to Madison Square Garden is the chicken sandwich restaurant sensation: Fuku. If the East Village is too far of a hike, now is your chance to grab a spicy fried chicken sandwich with fries. Read more

Truly one of the best arenas in the world. However it is really expensive for everything. Food tickets drinks and merchandise.

Whether it's a basketball game, a concert or the circus you will feel like you're at the center of the universe in New York's most famous venue. Penn Station being downstairs is very convenient too.

A 'copycat'of the Giralda Tower (Seville) was part of the original MEG in 1890. It was one of the first skyscrapers in Manhattan and had an statue of greek godess Diana on top.

Incredible show, Pharrell's performance was funky, energetic, & the perfect audio appetizer for Bruno Mars. Bruno didn't miss a note; literally tore the house down & everyone was having a great time!

If you get a chance to do the Delta 360 club -do it! It's fun and the food is great. Ranger players run through before they dress for the game.

Tired? Please. On 3/12/09, Syracuse beat UCONN in six overtimes here. It lasted three hours, 46 minutes and ended at 1:22am, the latest a basketball game at any level has ever ended in MSG history.
Janice TaylorNovember 6, 2014
The best thing about arenas with seats -- get here 15 minutes early and just walk right in. Oh and there are metal detectors at the front gate, leave your knives at home.

You've made it to the Garden! The world's most famous arena is perfect for our fave sport: celeb spotting. If you see star fans like Hugh Jackman and Beyoncé, send a virtual high-five their way.

The 100 level has tons of awesome eateries including Fuku (spicy fried chicken sandwiches), Casa Nonna (pizza and Italian) and Uncle Jacks (steak sandwiches).

Cirque du Soleil was amazing! The theater is beautiful and you can see really well from every angle. The show was worth seeing and the Garden is very well kept. Great Theater experience at the MSG.

First time here since the renovation. Place looks great and Club Gold seats had a good view. In fact, based on the layout, there isn't a bad seat in the house for Knick games.

Whenever I come to MSG, the full New Yorker in me comes out. I feel like a kid again. KNICKS! However, the chicken fingers + fries I ate wreaked havoc on my excretory system for 2 full days.

The world's most famous arena for a reason. All acts bring their A-game, and if the crowd is into it, the experience is second to none.

Booked through stub hub for section 320 when we got 2 the venue they switched out our tickets for in the 417 section. They stopped serving alcohol at 11pm. Besides this, I had fun with my friends

The best atmosphere for a hockey game. Lots of good food options compared to any other arena. Very nicely renovated.

Knicks. Rangers. Every band you can think of. They've all played MSG. If you haven't seen an event at the historic venue in the heart of NYC - what are you waiting for? And hear it all in JBL sound.

One of Manhattan’s biggest event venues, MSG is the city’s premiere sports and entertainment complex. Home to the NY Rangers, Knicks and Liberty teams, it’s also a stage for musicians on tour.

An absolute must-see when in NYC. Top entertainment. Tickets can be expensive, buy them online (e.g @ stub-hub) to avoid fakes. You can arrive by subway directly into the stadium.

It’s a great experience to watch a game there, although the space between seats are a little bit uncomfortable for those who have long legs.

Impressive venue for a concert or game. You understand the "mystique" once you're inside. Don't spend much time looking for championship banners in the rafters, though. Go to Boston for that.
Finley Bomer-LawsonOctober 24, 2015
It's a beautiful venue. The production of every event I've been to here is amazing. Objectively not the best for electronic music because so much of it is seated.
