Madison Square Garden, The World's Most Famous Arena, is located in Manhattan on Seventh Avenue between 31st and 33rd Streets. The Garden officially opened in 1968 and is located directly on top of Pennsylvania (Penn) Station.
Madison Square Garden has achieved much of its glory as the home base for two popular New York sports teams – the NHL’s New York Rangers and the NBA’s New York Knicks. The Garden owns these two teams and has hosted a number of all-star NBA and NHL games throughout the years.
The Garden is also used for other events such as pop concerts, exhibits and circuses. Madison Square Garden is also the home base for World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). In addition, boxing has been a big part of life at The Garden. Many of the biggest bouts in boxing history were fought here, including the first Ali-Frazier fight.
The current Madison Square Garden is actually the 4th building to be called Madison Square Garden. The opening event was held on February 11, 1968 with a gala salute to the USO starring Bing Crosby and Bob Hope. Over the last 4 decades, MSG has hosted tens of thousands of world-class events. Also located in the heart of Manhattan on Seventh Avenue between 31st and 33rd Streets, is the WaMu Theater at Madison Square Garden. It has been the venue for annual family shows and theatricals, the NFL and NBA Drafts, CBS Television's Fall Premiere, Con Edison's Shareholder Meetings, Product Launches for Infinity and Intel, Oxford Health Plans Award Ceremony, Corporate Employee Meetings, college graduations, and religious conferences.
