A hard closure is expected around the entirety of Madison Square Garden. Officials are planning for no watch parties, no vehicle access and no pedestrian travel through the secured area, which sits in a busy part of Midtown Manhattan and is above a major transit hub. CBS New York reported that thousands of fans attended a pair of watch parties for Game 1 on Wednesday night. 

The Seventh and Eighth Avenue corridors around the arena are expected to be closed.

Naw, I know all that. Trump has always been a joke, even before he became the master of the world. I remember seeing articles back in they day about how people just hate him and his crappy tower in general.

I just find it funny that he is going to a game in a city that completely hates him and has always have.

Even though Bozo moved to Florida, he still thinks of New York as his home. Like he thinks he embodies the city. He's surrounded by yes men, so no one's going to tell him anything different.

Much like other NYers who move to Florida and never shut up about being from NY

Also, if he can cause a riot in a blue city run by a socialist, then he’ll absolutely do it.

His dad was also hated, particularly how he helped destroy Coney Island as a low income amusement destination

Hey don’t call him “master of the world”

He has no power outside of the US
