Plan B for Fixing Penn Station Would Wrap Madison Square Garden in Glass
Looks like there are new plans to "fix" Penn Station. Basically tear down the Theater, and wrap MSG in glass. The renders don't look bad. I would not be against this as MSG is pretty ugly. I am surprised that Dolan and Co. didn't do anything to the exterior of MSG during the renovation. They could have cladded it with glass or LED screens. The current brown stone face looks so dated.

Knock it down and build a new building.

Knock it down and re-build the old building.

As I get older, I care less and less about asthetics and just want whatever the current set-up is to be clean and well-maintained.

Can we move it out of NYC too? Pop it in a nice open piece of land in Westchester, the less I have to go into NYC the better. Thanks!

Where would we play in the meantime?

Here's the problem with that:

And if you think that's New York State, I have a few hundred bridges to sell you.

It is NY state.....or else it would be the New York City Rangers. And guess what, you move them to westchester, you wouldnt have to change the name OR logo

New York, NY is the official name of the city.

I mean, you can root for out-of-area teams if you want -Leo likes the Ducks- but we're not moving to where you live.

I wouldn't be against having the Rangers play in UBS or Prudential for two years if they could tear down MSG and the current iteration of Penn Station, and build something modern for both MSG V and the new Penn Station. They would have to work nonstop 24/7 to get it done. It's a pipe dream though..oh well.

Pass.

My guess is if something like that were to happen, they would play at Barclays.

Disaster

Unfortunately Barclays sucks for hockey.

All of this is mental masturbation while Dolan is alive and in power. He's not going anywhere and will cover the building in as may ads as he can just to piss the city off.

if they tried to knock down and rebuild msg the timeline would be more in line with bostons big dig...rangers would be playing in like chelsea piers for 20 years

Too bad that for most people aging just causes the exact opposite. Obsessive NIMBYism to prevent any changes to the 'historical' landscape.

 

[Pawnee Rangers]

They should just leave the Garden alone. It's a great place to see a game or concert and it's in a perfect spot in the city, close to a bunch of PT options.

I’m surprised how little nostalgia and sentimentalism you guys have for MSG

It's the fourth building and third location so named and is still viewed with major shade by people my parents' age and older because it was an unlovely brown watch battery that replaced a beautiful and historic train station and replaced it with a shit hole. Landmark preservation efforts in NYC were sparked by the construction of the Garden.
