- Biography / Administrative HistoryThe current Madison Square Garden (MSG) is actually the fourth building to be called Madison Square Garden. Located 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, the first two of which were located on Madison Square, with the third Madison Square Garden further uptown at Eighth Avenue and 50th Street. Opened on February 11, 1968--with a gala salute to the USO starring Bing Crosby and Bob Hope--it is now the oldest active major sporting facility in the New York metropolitan area, the oldest arena in the National Hockey League, and the second-oldest arena in the National Basketball Association. MSG is the third-busiest music arena in the world in terms of ticket sales, behind Manchester Arena and The O2 Arena, both in England. At a total construction cost of approximately $1.1 billion, Madison Square Garden has been ranked as one of the ten most expensive stadium venues ever built. It is part of the Pennsylvania Plaza office and retail complex. Over the last four decades, MSG has hosted tens of thousands of world-class events.
