| dc.description | Overall view from the corner of Eighth Ave. and W. 31st St., looking east; A multi-purpose indoor arena located in Midtown Manhattan between Seventh and Eighth Avenues from 31st to 33rd Streets, it is situated atop Pennsylvania Station. It is the fourth venue to bear the name "Madison Square Garden", although at a new location. The Garden is used for professional basketball and ice hockey, as well as boxing, concerts, ice shows, circuses, and other forms of sports and entertainment. Irving M. Felt, who purchased the air rights from the Pennsylvania Railroad, tore down the above-ground portions of the original Pennsylvania Station. The new structure was one of the first of its kind to be built above the platforms of an active railroad station. It was most recently renovated in 2011-2013. The seating capacity for concerts is 20,000. Source: Wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page (accessed 9/5/2015) | en_US |
