All the sports are played in the same venue, as well as track and field (Milrose Games), Professional Bull Riding tours, the ocassional indoor tennis match, and the circus. The three venues thing you may be thinking of is the number of incarnations of MSG. There have been four at various locations in Manhattan. The original was at “Madison Square”.

As for Ratner’s comment about listening to the fans, I agree with derpderp. While the renaovations are a welcome change, including the big plans for a wide concourse with large windows, the fact of the matter is that the Delta lounge has nothing to do with real Rangers fans. Like most major metropolitan cities, those perks are reserved for companies that buy big suites and ticket packages to use as a perk with clients.

Anyone visiting New York, who wants the real Rangers experience, needs to buy tickets in the 400 sections. The “blue seats” fans are the ones you want to hang out with; and you still get a great look at the ice.

I got a general question about MSG: doesn’t MSG have like three venues, one each for hockey/basketball, boxing , and bowling/

Straight out of the ‘Palace in Dallas’ architectural book. I guess if ya can afford the seat then it’s not bad. Rather be in the stands though.

Nice time-lapse. I visited the MSG renovation website awhile ago and it’s amazing what they’re doing there. The ‘skywalk’ view where you will be able to look straight down over the ice should set a new standard.

Not a bad idea, but if I were a Rangers fan with a not-so-fat wallet I’d be a little disappointed it’s so exclusive. I know there’s a few teams ( the Oilers come to mind) that make this sort of glimpse of the players available to all their fans
