The 'World's Most Famous Arena' undergoes a facelift. Madison Square Garden underwent a major renovation project during the 2011 offseason, and will continue so in the 2012 and 2013 offseasons. The first part of the renovation occurred on the lower bowl.
The renovated lower bowl will include upgraded locker rooms for the Knicks and Rangers, event level suites, the Delta Sky360 Club, and the Madison Concourse at the sixth floor.

The second phase of the renovation will commence in the 2012 offseason, and will occur on the upper bowl, the Garden concourse at the eighth floor, the Madison Suites, and the Madison Club. The final phase will occur in the 2013 offseason, which involves the Chase Square, the Chase Bridges, the Budweiser Fan Deck, and the Garden Suites.
The Garden's ongoing renovation is a part of keeping the facility profitable and at par with the more modern arenas in the United States, a majority of which contain luxury boxes and club suites. Now with the construction of the MOA Arena near the SM mall in the Bay Area, is it time for Metro Manila to have a similar arena building approach? Maybe the renovation of the Smart Araneta Coliseum to include such amenities should start sooner than later.
