About Madison Square Garden:

Before the current day Madison Square Garden, which was completed in 1968, there was actually three Madison Square Garden's that were open to attract the people of New York and around the world to enjoy various sports, concerts and other forms of entertainment.

According to a TLTC Blog, one of the main reasons that Madison Square Garden is widely recognized as the world's most famous arena is because of its location, in the middle of Manhattan. Madison Square Garden was also constructed on top of Pennsylvania Station, with service from the Long Island Rail Road and the emergence of New Jersey Transit, it made Madison Square Garden that much accessible to people in the tri-state area.
