What is the capacity of Madison Square Garden on Knicks games?

Many things will have to change in the Knicks if they want to advance to the Eastern Conference finals, as they are losing 3-1 in their second-round playoff series to the Miami Heat.

Tom Thibodeau’s side comes back to New York to try to win Game 5 at home to stay alive in the playoffs, although it seems a hard task to come back from such a disadvantage.

Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo, with 27 and 23 points, respectively in their last match, proved too much for NY, and are now one win away from making it to their second consecutive conference finals.

Miami’s second unit was more productive than New York’s and Erik Spoelstra’s men took more advantage of the second-chance opportunities they got from offensive rebounds.

How many fans will support the Knicks in Game 5?

Thibodeau probably doesn’t want to think beyond tonight’s game, as from now on, every clash with the Heat is a final for the Knicks.

While Jalen Brunson, RJ Barrett, and Julius Randle are expected to be more productive and decisive to extend the series, the scenario should also play its role.

Considered the world’s most famous arena, Madison Square Garden has a capacity of 20,789 seats. After its renovation in 2013, it has a capacity for 19,812 attendants in basketball games.

The MSG saw the Knicks win their first NBA Championship in 1970 when in the seventh and decisive game the hosts became champions by defeating the Los Angeles Lakers.
