Madison Square Garden, often abbreviated as MSG, known colloquially simply as The Garden, has been the name of four
arenas in
New York City,
United States. It is also the name of the entity which owns the arena and several of the professional sports franchises which play there. There have been four incarnations of the arena. The first two were located at the Northeast corner of
Madison Square (Madison Ave. & 26th St.) from which the arena derived its name. Subsequently a new 17,000-seat Garden (opened
December 15,
1925) was built at 50th Street and 8th Avenue, and the current Garden (opened
February 14,
1968) is at 7th Avenue between 31st and 33rd Streets, situated on top of
Pennsylvania Station. The present arena is informally known to some by the advertising slogan "The World's Most Famous Arena".
