Knicks to Welcome Another Sell-Out Crowd of 16,000 to Garden, But Don’t Forget to Wear a Mask If taking Public Transportation to the Game

The New York Knicks today announced that Game 5 of their 2021 NBA playoffs series against the Atlanta Hawks, scheduled for June 2, has sold out. This follows Game 1, when the Knicks welcomed more than 15,000 fans and Game 2. The two games mark the largest indoor crowds to gather in New York since the start of the pandemic.

“The energy our Knicks fans have brought to the playoffs has been incredible – proving there’s nothing more exciting than Knicks basketball at The Garden,” said David Hopkinson, EVP, MSG Sports and President, Team Business Operations.

Meanwhile, mask requirements remain in place at airports and on public transportation. After all, that’s where the virus really hangs out.
