2.12.21 - Madison Square Garden exec says arena reopening ‘earlier than expected’
'Madison Square Garden was surprised that Gov. Andrew Cuomo opened New York Knicks and Rangers games to fans so soon, President Andy Lustgarten said Friday.'
'Gov. Cuomo announced Wednesday that local arenas could open to 10 percent capacity, or about 2,000 people at Madison Square Garden, this month. The Knicks will have their first game in front of fans on Feb. 23 when they play the Golden State Warriors.'
'“This was earlier than we had expected,” Lustgarten told analysts on a Friday earnings call.'
