MSG #1 (From Chic Silber)

The $1 billion renovation of Madison Square Garden was unveiled Thursday, and there is much to admire about it, from the shiny lobby with its innovative 600 foot ceiling video screens to the steel & concrete bridges built high over the playing surface. But the reality is that even before the last seat was put in place, the Garden had received an eviction notice. In July, the New York City Council voted, 47-1, to let the Garden operate where it is for 10 more years, in hopes that plans will be developed to build a new Pennsylvania Station that doesn’t feel like a dungeon. The Garden, understandably, wanted to stay forever.
