If there’s one thing that all New Yorkers can agree on it’s that Penn Station is pretty awful. And if we’re ever going to get a new home for NJ Transit, Amtrak, and the LIRR, Madison Square Garden will have to move (just don’t tell any die-hard Rangers fans that). — 6sqft
The Alliance for a New Penn Station is proposing in a new report that the world-famous venue Madison Square Garden be relocated to the nearby Morgan Post Office and Annex, which occupies the block bound by 9th and 10th avenues and 28th and 30th streets. They say the mail sorting facility site is large enough to accommodate a new state-of-the-art arena and it's just a quick walk to Penn Station.
Penn Station was designed for 200,000 passengers a day and now sees 600,000, making a redesign necessary.

Four Plans For A New Penn Station Without MSG, Revealed!
this karma will follow msg wherever it goes. one of the biggest architectural crimes ever committed in this country. some of you will know what i mean.
Penn station is terrible but the damage is done. No use spending 10 bil of public funds on fixing it. Nobody cares about people from New Jersey anyway.
it makes sense for those condo developers to do the deed in the name of a new station, mixed use etc... high line will neatly terminate there opening the area for further billionaire row. that is the dark side (no pun to darkman:) of hi line development behind all that festive tourist activity.
disney world.
