The New York Knicks look to close out their brutal first-round series against the Detroit Pistons tonight at Madison Square Garden.
If you’re looking for seats at the World’s Most Famous Arena, tickets start at over $400 on the resale market — including fees.
But fans have another way to enjoy tonight’s action with a big crowd — just outside MSG.
The Knicks are hosting another block party tonight at Knicks Plaza, located on West 33rd Street between 7th and 8th Avenues, where the game will be broadcast on large outdoor screens.
What to Know About the Knicks Block Party
Tip-off is set for 7:30 PM. But there will be plenty of activities at Fan Plaza before the action begins on the court. Fans of all ages can enjoy face painting, games, photo ops, ticket giveaways, and more, starting at 5:30 PM.
Keep in mind that this coincides with rush hour at Penn Station, so expect some congestion as commuters race to catch their trains home.
Fans can bring their own food and beverages — just no alcohol. As for the weather, it couldn’t be better. Temperatures will be in the mid-70s in the late afternoon and evening, with no chance of rain. That’s perfect tailgating weather for city slickers.
Best of all, no registration is required. Just head out to the Garden and get ready to cheer on what New Yorkers hope to be a Knicks win.
