After three years of renovations and tense communiques, Madison Square Garden unveiled its new look this week—and from the looks of it, it was $1 billion well spent (for, er, 10 years or so worth of usage...). Click through above to take a tour of the new MSG.
The most prominent new additions are the two "Chase Bridges," sky bridges that hang from the Garden's ceiling (there's also a food and beverage station near those seats). In the third phase of renovations, the Garden ceiling was fully restored, a new GardenVision center-hung multimedia display was installed, and a new suites area with “center stage” views for concerts was added.
