Bryant Park to Host Knicks Finals Watch Party After MSG Gathering Scrapped for Trump Visit
TL;DR
NYC will host a Bryant Park watch party for Game 3 of the Knicks’ NBA Finals after security concerns tied to President Trump’s visit prevent an outdoor gathering near Madison Square Garden; the event can accommodate up to 5,000 people with free registration, while security restrictions around MSG limit other watch parties and airport-style screening will be in place. A watch party for Game 4 is expected to resume outside MSG, and authorities note the security measures are focused on the immediate MSG area amid ongoing heightened security.
