History of Madison Square Garden Arena

In February 1968, 1 1, after the ground building of Pennsylvania Railway Station was demolished and put into underground operation, the fourth generation Madison Stadium Garden officially opened in its current location. The new structure is the first design built on the operating railway station. This engineering feat comes from Mr. Robert. Mcgee of El Paso. Texans' protest against the beautiful buildings that were destroyed led to the establishment of the New York City Landmark Protection Committee.

At present, Madison Square Garden Arena is the central axis of Madison Square and the office and entertainment center of Pennsylvania. It is also called PennsylvaniaPlaza, or PennPlaza for short, because it is built on the railway.

1972, IrvingMitchellFelt, the chairman of Garden, suggested to transfer to new york Knicks and new york Rangers.

To meadows, New Jersey (now completed, called Medoland Sports Center or IZOD Center). There finally welcomed the NBA and NHL teams (the New Jersey Nets and the New Jersey Devils, respectively). The New York Giants in the NFL were the only team named after new york and moved to the Garden Arena, and later the Jets joined them.

Felt's efforts triggered a dispute between Garden Arena and new york City on real estate tax. This broke out again at 1980. It is said that the Garden Arena plans to take similar measures and move into sports teams, thus challenging the property tax again. This attempt was finally ignored by the city leaders.

Madison Square Garden Stadium is also the home of NYRaiders/NYGoldenBlades of the Golden World Hockey Association.

199 1 year, the owner of the garden spent 200 million dollars to renovate the arena and added 89 luxury suites. This process includes hundreds of upper audience seats being removed to make room. The design of this project is in the charge of designer Hellebout Beckett.

During 2004-05, cablevision, the owner of Madison Square Garden, strongly resisted the construction proposal of the new westsidestadium in New York City Hall, because the new stadium would compete with the Garden Stadium. Finally, the proposal to start building a new arena was shelved. After that, the photoelectric vision company announced the plan. First, the garden will be razed to the ground, then a new high-rise commercial building will be built on the original site, and a new garden will be built across the street from james farley Post Office, and it will also be connected with the moynihan Station project. However, on April 3rd, 2008, the Garden Board changed its plan again, and announced that it would rebuild the existing garden in time to catch up with the Knicks and Rangers' 201-12 season, although the vice chairman of the Garden said that he would still devote himself to the original moynihan project-the expansion project of Payne Station of Farley Post Office. In this context, although the Knicks and Rangers did not leave the garden, the Freedom Team moved to the PrudentialCenter in Newark, New Jersey during the renovation.
