OT: Madison Square Garden Renovations (Part VI)

[And justice for yall]

Did we lose traction on this? Tragedy of the commons?

I'm completely up for this. I already offered up my bridge seats in 312, row 2 for comparably priced seats in the 100s.

I saw all episodes from the first year, but did they ever do Year 2 shows?

Yes they did. Unfortunately they were not as interesting as the Year 1 shows. And what I mean by interesting is that they didn't discuss engineering and architecture / challenges in construction. The Year 2 shows went like this: we came, we demoed, we built, we painted, we're open. New features (the Garden Concourse) weren't really discussed the way the new Madison Concourse was the previous year. Since the locker rooms were done in year one, there really wasn't much to show in Year 2.

I hope the Year 3 shows are more fact filled then a timeline documentation.


Cheers!

Does anyone sit in level 200 lower Corner 222, could anyone give me an opinion on row 4 of this section? It looks like its the front row, what is in front of it?

Big thanks for that, I'm sitting in 212 for the Rangers game, I think the bridge will block my view of the scoreboard but I'm not there to look at that!

The 222 question was for my Knicks tickets, very happy with the view, looks almost the perfect distance to take everything in.

I managed to catch the Year 3 segment of "The Garden Transformed" on New Year's day. Let's just say I was a bit disappointed that they glossed over the replacement of the ice floor & refrigeration system in favor of the lobby and celebrity commentary. What. A. Letdown.

MSG decided to brush the arena's reputation for ****** ice under the rug and slap a pretty ribbon showcasing the History of The World's Most Famous Arena! Wouldn't want to sully its legacy by mentioning The Worst Ice Surface in the NHL.

The phrase "Leave no stone unturned" comes to mind.

Anybody know where "Suite 200" is physically located? I know that the 1879 club is down the stairs from the back corner of the delta club

You know on the side of the ice behind the benches there's that one portal that goes down under the seats? Is that it?
