It’s Not Over Until The Fat Lady Sings At Madison Square Garden

Is this the ugliest building in New York?

Make your voice heard: Testify at Community Board 5’s Land Use Committee hearing Wednesday, March 8th at 6 pm. The disastrous Hochul / Vornado plan for Pennsylvania Station is sinking fast, but New York sports legend Yogi Berra reminds us that it ain’t over till it’s over.

Our testimony:

  • You cannot build a world-class train station in the basement of a run-down sports arena.
  • Pennsylvania Station and Madison Square Garden don’t suffer from blight, they are the blight.
  • The once world-famous Garden is not even one of the fifty-best places in America to watch sports.

Background: Madison Square Garden is owned by the Dolan family. Almost ten years ago, the New York City Council gave the family ten years to find a new home. The head of the family business threw a very public temper tantrum recently, but at the last CB5 hearing an MSG VP surprised everyone when he said the company might be willing to move.
