Knicks fans may have to make a traveling call Tuesday
If the strike continues, Knicks fans who usually take the LIRR to games will be forced to find alternative options to get to Madison Square Garden.
Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Cavaliers is set for 8 p.m. Tuesday at the Garden.
Parking spots for the game are available on SpotHero. Spots listed within a half-mile of the Garden ranged from $25.44 to $65.25, as of 1:30 p.m. Monday.
When asked by Newsday if the Knicks had any plans for Long Islanders traveling to the game given the strike, an MSG spokesperson directed attention to the blue header atop MSG.com, which reads: “Due to the LIRR strike, we encourage guests to plan ahead and allow for additional travel time. Events will continue as scheduled.”
The Knicks have a similar header on their website that reads: “Due to the LIRR strike, we encourage guests to plan ahead and allow for additional travel time. Knicks games will continue as scheduled.”
