A coveted view of Madison Square Garden from the “floor,” where some of the biggest stars and legendary athletes have performed–and a visit inside the Knicks and Rangers locker rooms–are among the exclusive VIP areas to see on the recently re-opened MSG All Access Tour. Following the arena’s three-year, $1 billion renovation, the tour offers a “backstage pass” to experience the newly transformed Garden and learn about its interesting history.
For over 130 years and spanning four different building locations (the original Garden was built in 1879 at 26th Street and Madison Avenue), Madison Square Garden has been an epicenter for sports and entertainment. The 20,000-seat arena hosts over 250 yearly events, with attendance totaling nearly four million. From some of the most famous moments in sports history to thousands of the greatest music superstars—it’s no wonder they call it “the world’s most famous arena”.
Many have attended the Garden as a spectator, far from the action. But the all-access tour gives an insider’s look–the opportunity to walk where the legends have walked. Unforgettable moments in MSG history are documented in several new exhibits throughout the arena, with commemorative photos, memorabilia, and artifacts. For those who have only known the “nosebleed” seats, the tour offers unique access to the newly built luxury suites and club facilities. Who wouldn’t want a sneak peak at a team owner’s suite or luxury lounge? Now you don’t have to be a VIP to experience the Garden in an exciting new way.
Ticket are $27 for adults, $18 for children. Tickets may be purchased at the MSG box office or through Ticketmaster or (866) 858-0008.
