Madison Square Garden

Venue in New York City, built as a boxing arena and also used for concerts. The current ‘Garden’ is the fourth to bear the name and staged its first boxing match in 1968. It is situated over Pennsylvania Station on 7th Avenue, and has a capacity of 20,000. It is home to the New York Rangers ice hockey and the New York Knicks basketball teams.

The first ‘Garden’ had its roots in the 1870s when an Irishman called Gilmore gave concerts from a disused railway depot in Madison Square Park. It became known as Gilmore's Garden but when the former owner, circus proprietor P T Barnum, took it over again in 1880 he renamed it Madison Square Garden.
