Madison Square Garden was the "nest" for the carnivorous Godzilla babies and was later destroyed by F/A-18 Fighter/bombers in the Americanized version of Godzilla (1998). Madison Square Garden was featured in the film Glitter, Forget Paris, Finding Forrester, and the Adam Sandler remake of Mr. Deeds. In Paternity, Burt Reynolds plays the manager of the Garden. The famous scene from Citizen Kane with Orson Welles standing in front of his giant picture took place in the third Garden.

For David Checketts, a 42-year-old BYU graduate who is president and CEO of Madison Square Garden, all his weekdays start like that. The business of business, when you're running the Garden, isn't an eight-hour-a-day proposition because the Garden, established in 1879 by railroad tycoon WilliamVanderbilt, isn't just a business; it's an icon. From his Manhattan office Checketts runs a sports and entertainment empire that generates hundreds of millions of dollars annually and has hosted the likes of Elvis Presley and Luciano Pavarotti, Muhammad Ali and Patrick Ewing.
