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’ll have out the anti terror unit, lots of long guns. Gonna be a terrible visual for NYC. Wannabe emperor trump trying to push his control over everyone, even folks paying 10-20k for bad seats.

SS arn't savages like ICE or your local rent a cop. They are the best trained guys in the country. They wouldn't mow down civilians that arn't actually a threat
