Posted by Michael549 on Fri Jan 16 02:35:01 2015, in response to Re: Madison Square Garden, posted by Wallyhorse on Thu Jan 15 19:59:52 2015. Last winter I was at a meeting at the Transit Museum where there was a speaker talking about the ridership counts, and another speaker talked about a book on subway history. At the close of the meeting, questions from the audience was taken.One of the questions dealt with the major transit problems that occurred at the Belmont RaceTrack and during the Super-Bowl in New Jersey when many transit riders found that they had to wait hours in order to take public transit home, after attending those events. Each of these events were discussed in major detail on this forum at the time. In any case during the question and answer session, the point made by the MTA staffer was that with the all of the public transit options available at Madison Square Garden - there is simply no way that venue would suffer such a public transit fiasco. In this message stream several ideas were floated about moving MSG to another location. I simply do not understand the reasoning for shooting ourselves in the foot with suggestions of moving a major destination to places that are basic transit deserts? The Jacob Javits Center has often been talked about as being in the middle of no-where on 11th Avenue. That was the major complaint from the day it opened! So let's move the MSG to the far Westside where there isn't transit - as a really good bright idea! (Yes, that is sarcasm!) While we're at it let's move Radio City Music Hall it's an old auditorium! There are a few other old buildings that should be moved just because they're old! Yes, it's a good idea to build large venues in places that are difficult to get to. Great city planning guys! And yes, I have been following along this discussion. You may continue your petty bickering. Mike |
