Madison Square Garden, New York City

Great venue. Saw Eric Clapton there, and the sound was great. Staff were helpful and polite. Had seats in the 102 section, low in the stadium, directly across from the stage. Good seats, but you really needed the screens above the stage to see the performers. If you want to be close to the stage, you need to be on the floor or in the wings. It is very easy to get in and out from New Jersey using NJ Transit. I am so glad I did not try to drive in. The train is very convenient.

This was my first time visiting MSG. It was really easy to get there. I took the train in from EWR in Newark and that was simple. The arena is older, it looks old, but it's still pretty cool. Upon entering, the interior is modern and clean and everything is easy to get to. Concessions are very high, but it's New York and it's Madison Square Garden, so what do you expect? The fact that it's above Penn Station makes it a convenient destination in NYC. There were Vivid strip models from the nearby club handing out flyers in the lobby upon leaving the building, which was interesting. Overall, a nice arena, and it's got a lot of history, so that was cool to think about while there.
