The spirit, energy and vitality of NYC has developed into a main character during the Knicks' storybook run.
Fans have brought it to every road game. Atlanta, then Philadelphia and Cleveland, and finally to San Antonio.
Yet, the area in/around MSG has been the visceral epicenter of that enthusiasm, the primary power source, the beating heart of this magical playoff run.
Which is why it's so frustrating that, on the night die-hard Knicks fans have waited decades for, that space will be locked down and stripped of the very energy that made it special in the first place… all to accommodate one man.
James Dolan invited his friend Donald Trump to watch Game 3. In order to do that, they have to ban the organic, historically joyous parties happening outside MSG for fans who can't afford to be inside. Modern sports in a nutshell
@MichaelBattista Truly atrocious - went to the info tent last Sunday because the app wouldn’t show my tickets.
Staffer told me he had had the same issue and that I needed to use my web browser.
Thank goodness there aren’t ushers who check your tickets at the top of the stairs.
Gotham FC disabled replies on this post. Have to wonder if its because the Sports Illustrated Tickets rollout been shaky for both them and Red Bull New York, and the overall vibe around the service is off.

The Erie Canal was arguably NYC’s single-most important 19th century infrastructural development. Prior to it, Boston and Philly could claim to be rival port cities. The Canal changed the calculus, cementing NYC’s status as the sole uncontested economic capital of the US forever.
.@JulieMenin, you recently appointed Inna Vernikov as a co-chair of a task force to combat antisemitism. Vernikov has a history Islamophobia including calling Zohran Mamdani a “terrorist lover” and said “jihad” would “come to NYC” if he won.
five years ago in journalism, people would quote tweet layoff posts saying HIRE THIS PERSON THEY'RE SO TALENTED.
No one can even do this anymore because we know all these rich fucks have made it so there are no new jobs
I certainly didn’t have the New York Post coming out for ending this loophole – which lets landlords reset the rent from the preferential rent to the max legal rent upon vacancy – on my bingo card, but I’m sure tenant advocates will be thrilled.
Today was the hardest day of my life. We fought for nearly a decade to bring secure bike parking to NYC and ultimately were completely excluded from the @NYC_DOT process. To those who have believed in @ooneepod and our vision I am deeply sorry.
