About Madison Square Garden

Madison Square Garden is the Midtown Manhattan arena built above Pennsylvania Station, between 7th and 8th Avenues from 31st to 33rd Streets. The current building opened in 1968 and is home to the New York Knicks and New York Rangers, along with concerts and comedy shows. A 60-minute guided tour takes you into backstage areas, team locker rooms and luxury suites, and out onto a bridge with a view of the arena's distinctive ceiling.
