Stadium History
The current Madison Square Garden opened in 1968 as the fourth venue to carry the name. Built above Penn Station, it's the oldest arena in both the NBA and NHL. The $1 billion renovation from 2011-2013 transformed MSG while preserving its iconic status. The arena has hosted historic fights, concerts, and moments including Muhammad Ali fights, John Lennon's final concert, and papal visits. Its location and history make it truly the 'Mecca' of basketball and one of the most storied venues in all of sports.
