Capacity

Madison Square Garden is a circular arena with a unique bowl design, the 100-level sits low around the ice, the 200-level (mezzanine) wraps around the midlevel, the 300-level provides suite access, and the 400-level (balcony and Chase Bridge) hangs from the rafters. With 18,006 hockey seats, it's intimate for an arena this iconic. The steep construction means even the highest seats have clear sightlines. The Chase Bridge, a catwalk suspended directly over center ice, is one of the most unique seating experiences in sports.
