Basketball Places Map
Basketball in New York:
Madison Square Garden
If you’re looking for a great view, try to sit higher up. I had seats on the lower level once and could hardly see the full action. The upper tiers have a better overall perspective
My advice is to check out the food options in advance. Some stands can get super crowded, and you might end up spending more if you don’t plan. I found the pretzels and pizza worth every penny!
Barclays Center
I suggest bringing a small portable charger. Using your phone for pics and directions drains battery life, and you might miss out on moments.
I recommend arriving around 5:30 PM for weeknight games. You'll beat the crowd and have a better chance to find cheaper parking near the arena.
Times Union Center
My advice is to check for parking options ahead of time and maybe even consider using public transport. I wasted a lot of time circling for a spot!
I recommend arriving about an hour early. It gives you time to find parking and grab some snacks inside. Trust me, those concession stands can get crazy busy right before the game starts
Carrier Dome
My advice is to check out the food options inside. The prices are fair, and the nachos were surprisingly good. I was expecting overcooked junk, but they were delish.
