Adding Another Entrance/Exit

Getting to the games can be a bit difficult all on their own if the LIRR is backed up, or if you choose another route. However, getting into the actual building is mainly the most difficult part because there’s only one entrance.

Most times, if you get to the games early, it’s not too hard to get in. However, getting out of the Garden is another story all together. Especially on weekdays in the regular season, people tend to want to get out as fast as possible.

When it gets closer to the Stanley Cup Playoffs and during the actual post-season, fans stay the course until the final buzzer sounds. But for the rest of the season, it can be a long while before you finally manage your way out of the building.

That’s why it might be a good idea to add an extra entrance to the Garden. This way, fans might not leave as early because they know it won’t be as difficult getting out. (That means more people sticking around for the three stars of the night when the Rangers win!)
