Electeds like getting insider access to sports venues, when they *should* be removing their tax exemptions. Sigh. As I wrote, "Also, despite politicians' bandwagon fandom, it's time to strip sports venues, starting with MSG, of tax exemptions." normanoder.substack.com/p/so-why-cant-…
This isn't illegal, but it's an example of the soft corruption that has long persisted in NYC. You want to know why we can never move MSG for a real Penn Station, why MSG persists with its tax break even though New York State and City are now controlled by socialists, why it gets
So, why can't the Barclays Center host NY Knicks watch parties? normanoder.substack.com/p/so-why-cant-… Trolling "ragebait," or recognizing pent-up demand? Also, despite politicians' bandwagon fandom, it's time to strip sports venues, starting with MSG, of tax exemptions. C'mon, @NYCMayor
Walking around Fort Greene, Brooklyn, not far from Barclays Center. Major crowds watching the Knicks’ Finals game, especially across the street from the projection screen (a photo I didn’t even get)

Just got a call from the Barclays Center from a poor guy who's making cold calls trying to sell Nets season tickets. He confirms that the timing has been rough for him today.
In @CityAndStateNY Who's Who in Sports, three Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment connections: the head of the Social Justice Fund (an arm of the business?), the NY Liberty CEO, & the Chief External Affairs Officer atlanticyardsreport.blogspot.com/2026/06/in-cit… plus, naturally, a reciprocal ad
“The reason James Dolan invited him was that MSG sits atop Penn Station, and the Trump administration had the final say on a proposal to demolish the arena and relocate it across the street, with Dolan's approval reportedly serving as a prerequisite for that outcome.” Read it.
Trump showing up to the Knicks Finals has an $8 billion explanation. And no one's talking about. The reason James Dolan invited him was that MSG sits atop Penn Station, and the Trump administration had the final say on a proposal to demolish the arena and relocate it across
This is a massive shutdown of midtown ahead of Knicks-Spurs Game 3 at MSG Can’t imagine the pain it will cause local bars/restaurants in the area And can’t imagine how difficult it will be to get through the security checkpoints
Starting at 4pm today, vehicular and pedestrian traffic will be closed from West 30th Street to West 35th Street between 6th Avenue and 8th Avenue. No one will be allowed inside the secure area unless you have a ticket to the game, a train ticket, are going to a business inside
@bklynfletchIV Based on the admittedly limited sample size, I observed the other night, the bars already looked pretty full! I suspect that the overall publicity is increasing demand
Unsolicited suggestion: Barclays Center, which is dark on Monday & Wednesday nights, should host ticketed screenings of the New York Knicks Finals games. +maybe show excerpts on the oculus screen outside. Maybe they don’t make $, but I think they get some goodwill & good vibes
@floor_per_area ?? If this is on Reddit somewhere, pls do send the link
@KraigNJ66 OK! Honestly, I had not heard it Kind of intuitive I guess
@AYReport Yeah Evan Roberts said that yesterday with proceeds split between garden of dreams and nets foundation
@TommyKaytheDJ @Zoobeard77 @EvanRobertsWFAN Ok! (I had not seen it)
@AYReport 💯 agree. A watch party should be available at all NY stadiums / arenas. Bring people together and keep everyone safe Not everyone wants to be in a sports bar.
@NYIFANCENTRAL Yup, if "selling" means that I think that profitable businesses operating at: --Madison Square Garden --Barclays Center --CitiField --Yankee Stadium all should pay taxes on (for now) tax-exempt sites x.com/AYReport/statu…
What's good for other New Yorkers also is profitable teams/venue operators paying taxes on their (for now) tax-exempt sites!
What's good for other New Yorkers also is profitable teams/venue operators paying taxes on their (for now) tax-exempt sites!
I don't care about the Knicks. I hope they win because other New Yorkers hope they win and as long as it doesn't cost me anything, I want what is good for other New Yorkers. But I don't pretend to care about them all of a sudden like all of our elected officials do. I do care
@NetsDaily The demand is there. Bars / restaurants around Brooklyn/NYC all will be participating. Lean in!
Synergy here: Brooklyn Magazine and the New York Liberty are both owned by Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment
Big shoutout to the @nyliberty for being good sports 😅
