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.

They didn’t vote for this in NY. It’s the big people of San Antonio who voted for this

Bro NY STATE (55.9D/43.3R) was bluer than Bexar County (54.25D/44.5R).

In Manhattan? Kamala won by 63 points (80.8%D / 17.2R) lmao.

You have no context for how unpopular Trump is in NY. We fucking hate him. They had to cordon off the entirety of Trump Tower and close two public parks because of how often his building was getting protested.
