Concessions are very high, but it's New York and it's Madison Square Garden, so what do you expect? The fact that it's above Penn Station makes it a convenient destination in NYC. There were Vivid strip models from the nearby club handing out flyers in the lobby upon leaving the building, which was interesting. Overall, a nice arena, and it's got a lot of history, so that was cool to think about while there.

The staff is very nice and it's easy to navigate throughout the place. This stadium is a lot smaller than I thought. I was under the impression that it was the size of Metlife Stadium.
CONS: Obviously no parking lot since it's in the city and the plot of land it sits on is tiny. When there's a huge crowd outside it's likely that you'll be standing in the street before being let in
OVERALL: For a arena in the city it is very nice. Not my favorite overall, which is Yankee Stadium (in regards to city stadiums) but it's definitely an attraction you need to see

Several years ago, MSG invested millions of dollars into "improvements." What did these amount to? Adding many concession stands on upper levels and thus drastically reducing areas for foot traffic, making every intermission or halftime into a nightmare; reallocating seats so once affordable areas are now off-limits; adding security staff who don't seem to do anything or know where anything is; and of course tacking on several more boxes for big spenders and corporations.
How much do they hate you? So much that if you use a Ticketmaster kiosk AT THE ARENA to buy tickets, only feet away from a box office window, they charge you a convenience fee.
Never doubt it: they hate you. MSG has no plans to improve anything that would actually help normal folks to enjoy a night out. Why would they? I can't say I blame them. But it breaks my heart to see what it's become.
