there have been multiple Madison square gardens, i think even multiple ones at the same time if i remember history not all at the same location and were there not also multiple arenas in the same building at one time?

You're exactly right. The current one is the 4th edition, but the first two were located at Madison Square Park (23rd St. and 5th Ave/Broadway), hence the name. I just thought it was odd to use the plural more than anything, rather than any desire to be a serious nitpicker.

I'm sure it's hard-wired into his Canadian brain, like "colour" or "aboot."  Americans probably say "Maple Leaf Garden."

Bostonians have a form of this as well: for some reason, they pronounce "FleetCenter" as "The Garden".

And well they should, catering to us old fogies. ::demented::

I think you're looking at this the wrong way. I never had the benefit of attending a game live at the old Boston Garden, but I've seen enough video to know that the current arena is nothing like the Garden was. The Garden was legendary.

It hasn't been named "FleetCenter" in over a decade. It's been "TD Garden" since 2009 and I'm OK with people dropping the bank's name in conversation.

Of course there's still an active NHL player who played in the Boston Garden. I'm sure many of us here know who he is.

There has to be more than one, because there's at least one guy who played in the NHL for 4 years while Boston Garden was still running.

There are multiple Madison Square Gardens right now.  How do you know the Big Red players don't cavort here before or after games?

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_Garden

"Tex Rickard, the noted entrepreneur and boxing promoter who built and operated the third Madison Square Garden, sought to expand his empire by building a series of seven "Madison Square Gardens" around the country."

Maybe Schafer has an insane, grandiose scheduling plan?

Will there be any broadcast of the event? Audio? Video? TV?

::wtf::

Only on WHCU, I think.

Rats! I was hoping the MSG channel might cover it.

In past years in which the game at MSG was not televised, the schools were given the scoreboard "feed" to broadcast on their webcasting platforms.

Usually, we'd get an announcement about that a week or so before the game. But we haven't gotten one yet.

Fixed your post. :-D

If this is true about no telecast of the game, it will be nice not to have any TV timeouts. Last week's game at Yale would have been over in 2 hours if it hadn't gone to overtime.
