Fan Tips

Madison Square Garden remains one of the most iconic arenas in the world, hosting New York Knicks and New York Rangers games in the heart of Manhattan.

Located above Penn Station, the arena offers unmatched transit access, with subway, commuter rail, and regional trains all connecting directly below.

The seating bowl provides strong sightlines despite the arena’s age, and the atmosphere intensifies during big games and playoff moments.

Concessions combine classic arena fare with elevated dining options reflecting the New York market.

After the game, fans step directly into Midtown Manhattan, with endless dining, nightlife, and entertainment options nearby.

Security Screenings

Like almost all US and Canadian Stadiums, you will need to enter through a metal detector before entering the stadium.  Be sure to give yourself extra time and don't bring any weapons or devices that could be seen as a weapon inside.  Pat down searches may be required.

Bag Policy

Backpacks, oversized bags, and suitcases are prohibited.  All bags are subject to search.

Note: Bag and security policies listed above are for typical sporting events. Special events, concerts, and other situations may result in variations. Please check the event website for any changes.
