Great game, but...
Madison Square Garden - New York
We have a great Knicks game and it was rally fun watching the playoffs at the MSG. The think that bothered me was that we had a photo camera with us because we were around NY taking pictures the whole day but they didn't want to let us in with it. The worse thing is that if you won't let me in with it, you should have a locker to store it, since I'm not the only one tourist in NY with a photo camera in my bag. There was no other choice than going back to our hotel, and returning at the MSG. We almost lost the start od the game for that. Make some lockers MSG! We're in the most famous arena, aren't we?

By MSG VIEW OBSTRUCTION
Expensive Obstructed view seating
Madison Square Garden - New York
The seats I purchased from the seller were limited view with a hand rail banister In the view from one of the two seats. Sorry, but the price should have been reduced because most of the game, I sat on my seat while it was up in the closed position to let me see over the banister. I do not remember seeing any mention of issue with viewing from the seats. I paid $1,500.00 per seat. Very disappointing.

Amazing!
Madison Square Garden - New York
I had been to Barclays arena before, never to MSG. Always for the playoffs! Again it was a wonderful experience. Very high ticket cost (about $300), quick and safe way to purchase (ticketmaster). I watched the game from the 301 lounge and it was amazing!!!

New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden
Located above Penn Station, the current Madison Square Garden has been the home to the Knicks since 1968 and is arguably the most iconic arena in all of sports. The current building is actually the fourth venue to bear the Madison Square Garden name, the first of which opened in 1879.
The Knicks' arena has always been called Madison Square Garden, and they played in the previous iteration from the founding of the franchise in 1946 until moving to the current building in 1968. The current MSG is the oldest NBA arena still in use. Madison Square Garden has the distinction of being the only NBA arena that is not named after a corporate sponsor.

New York Knicks History
The Knicks were established in 1946 and were one of the founding members of the Basketball Association of America, which became the NBA after merging with the National Basketball League in 1949. The Knicks and Boston Celtics are the only two original NBA teams still located in the same city.
The Knicks saw early success, advancing to the NBA Finals in three consecutive years from 1950 to 1953. They lost all three series, twice to the Minneapolis Lakers and once to the Rochester Royals.
The Knicks' next successful era began in the late '60s, under the tutelage of head coach Red Holzman. They hired Holzman in the middle of the 1967-68 season, and he immediately improved their record and led them to a playoff berth.
They won 54 games in Holzman's first full season as head coach, and then improved to 60 wins the following season. The Knicks won their first NBA Championship that year, defeating the Los Angeles Lakers in seven games. Holzman won Coach of the Year, while center Willis Reed won NBA MVP and Finals MVP.
Holzman and Reed led the Knicks back to the finals in two of the next three seasons, facing the Lakers both times. They split those two series, winning their second championship in the 1972-73 season.
The Knicks could not replicate their success until the '90s, when future Hall of Famer Patrick Ewing led them back to the finals in 1993-94 and 1998-99. They lost both series, first in seven games to the Houston Rockets, then in five games to the San Antonio Spurs.
The Knicks traded for star Carmelo Anthony from the Denver Nuggets in 2011, but gave up several contributors -- point guard Raymond Felton, forwards Danilo Gallinari and Wilson Chandler, and big men Timofey Mozgov and Kosta Koufos -- to get him.
Anthony proved to be an elite scorer, but team success eluded the Knicks. They made it to playoffs three times in Anthony's seven-year tenure with the team, winning one series. That came in 2012-13, and the Knicks have not been back to the playoffs since.
The Knicks traded Anthony to the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2017 in exchange for center Enes Kanter and sharpshooter Doug McDermott.
