Madison Square Garden, often abbreviated as MSG and known colloquially as The Garden, is a multi-purpose indoor arena, in the New York City borough of Manhattan and located at 8th Avenue, between 31st and 33rd Streets, situated on top of Pennsylvania Station.

Opening on February 11, 1968, it is the longest active major sporting facility in the New York Metropolitan area, and is the fourth incarnation of the arena in the city. One Penn Plaza stands at its side.

Several other operating entities related to the venue share its name.

Madison Square Garden is the third busiest arena in the world in terms of ticket sales, behind only M.E.N. Arena, Manchester and the The O2 Arena, London both in England.

Madison Square Garden refers to itself in its advertising campaigns as the World's Most Famous Arena.

As of the start of the 2010 � 11 NHL season, & 2010-11 NBA season The Garden will be the oldest arena in the NHL, and the second oldest in the NBA, following only Oracle Arena, in Oakland,CA which was extensively renovated in 1997.
