Madison Square Garden

4 Pennsylvania Plaza, New York, NY 10001

 


    Madison Square Garden is an indoor arena venue just south of the theatre district in Manhattan above Pennsylvania Station. Often referred to as “The Garden” or as “MSG,” it is used to host professional sporting events such as boxing, hockey, and basketball, as well as for circuses, ice shows, and many other forms of entertainment. There have been several other venues with the same name since the 1870s. This is the fourth incarnation of Madison Square Garden. It was opened in 1968. Seating capacity varies between events, but is generally around 20,000.

    Beneath the main arena, there is a second event space called The Theater at Madison Square Garden. It seats from 2000 up to about 5,600 people, making it larger than any of the Broadway Theatre venues, though with a much lower ceiling.

It’s nickname is the Showplace of the Nation. Radio City Music Hall was designed by Edward Durell Stone and Donald Deskey. When it first opened in 1932, its largest auditorium was the largest in the world. At 5,960 seats, it remains an enormous and amazing event venue.   It is much larger than the largest Broadway Theatre, the Gershwin, which has comparatively only 1,933 seats.
