NFT: A new MSG?

DanMetroMan : 9/22/2022 9:03 am
I doubt it happens but interesting
Link - ( New Window )
IDK, Cablevision invested billions of dollars in renovating MSG

So they're going to knock down the current MSG and build a new one in Hudson Yards?


Ehh, color me skeptical
That's a lot of air rights over the current MSG

You could place several large towers on that plot.

IIRC the air rights for the current MSG were sold long ago. But I could be wrong.
Would be so dumb and wasteful

The arena is fine as is.

to Penn Station who was skeptical of the Amtrak move, holy shit the Moynihan Train Hall is an architectural marvel. Any time I walk in Penn Station now I feel like I'm walking through some apocalyptic abandoned hell hole and across the street is a beautiful oasis.

Now, obviously MSG is nowhere near as bad as Penn Station, but if they can replace it like Moynihan replaced the Amtrak part of Penn I'd listen. massive upgrade.
The current Garden is the FOURTH Garden.....

..... so it's not like a move or new construction would be unprecedented.
I don't care about a new Penn Station

I care about a new Hudson River tunnel and operating tracks and trains. Spend the money on that.
Correct me if I'm wrong

but this sounds like Dolan wants to build a new MSG where Woody wanted to put the Jets new stadium until Dolan used every political favor and advertising he could to have it killed?

Anyone know the lease arrangements for the Giants and Jets at the tuna can called Met Life? I wonder if one of the football teams could partner with Dolan for a multi use retractable roof stadium that could do basketball, hockey and football.

Jimmy D. would disagree. He's got that bug now that he's finishing that new 'sphere'-like construction in Vegas. I've seen it, it's an impressive structure.

access to almost every major subway line. Getting to Hudson Yards is a pain in the ass.

You don't have to call it "that new 'sphere'-like construction" because it has a name: Sphere. Way less words than your description.
