The NBA and New York Knicks are warning fans to arrive to Madison Square Garden at least two hours before the tipoff of Game 3 as security measures have been added now that President Donald Trump is planning on attending the game.
There is a “no bag” policy, no storage spaces available, and enhanced “TSA-style screening procedures” for fans when they enter Madison Square Garden for the game scheduled to tip off just after 8:30 p.m. EST.
Trump’s visit has also blocked a watch
party scheduled outside of MSG. New York fans have taken to social media to complain about everything from the limitations on street access to ticket prices. Trump has touted his Knicks fandom, but his presence will alter how attendees approach their evening. There is a website provided by Secret Service that lists prohibited items for those attending the game.
Media also received notification that certain areas would be off limits throughout the day and night as the added security measures limit access throughout the arena. Luckily, media are allowed into MSG hours before the doors even open, so hopefully there will be less issues for those bringing laptops and recording devices for the press conferences.
As you read this I am either on a plane, a train, a bus, a cab, or already at Madison Square Garden. For the next three days I will do my best to post about the experience. Feel free to hit me up with questions, things you’d like to see covered, and/or restaurant recommendations.
