They were on board with moving also, not even that far back. Remember the talks to move the Garden into the back of Farley Building? Dolan had a few issues because he wanted MSG advertising on all sides of the building, but once the redevelopment plan got bogged down between the delopers and public officials, Dolan knew they had to do
something with the current arena, especially after fighting "threats" like the planned Jets west side stadium, and the arrival of Barclays Center.
But unfortunately for Dolan, the momentum has shifted to removal of the Garden from Penn Station, which is a more valuable asset to the City. Farley remains the best option for MSG, but there aren't many. A typical threat, like moving the arena to Jersey wouldn't work for him. The Garden must be in the City, and it must be in Manhattan. But this is the 4th Garden (they can call it 5, if they like) and this is not
the historic location for it.
I wasn't around to see it get built, but with any luck, I'll be around to see this in reverse...
A Farley Garden...
