Madison Square Garden, often abbreviated as MSG, known colloquially simply as The Garden, has been the name of four arenas in New York City, United States. It is ... the name of the entity which owns the arena and several of the professional sports franchises which play there. There have been four incarnations of the arena. The first two were located at Madison Square, thus the name. Subsequently a new 20,000-seat Garden was built at 50th Street and 8th Avenue, and the current Garden is at 7th Avenue between 31st and 33rd Streets, situated on top of Pennsylvania Station. The present arena is informally known to some by its advertising slogan, "The World's Most Famous Arena".

Madison Square Garden III was principally a boxing venue, and saw numerous near-mythic bouts between some of the best fighters in the world. The Garden played host to the only indoor bout in the career of boxing giant Jack Dempsey. The structure during this era was quite nonedescript, and earned notoriety for its plainness, in everything from its architecture to the signage above the door, which was often an abbreviated version of forthcoming events, with words appearing in cryptic, oddly configured forms.

Madison Square Garden recently installed EAW's MQV Series loudspeakers at the giant multipurpose arena, part of the Garden's first major sound system upgrade in almost a decade. Wrightson Johnson Haddon & Williams (WJHW) of Dallas was the system design consultant, and SPL Integrated Solutions of Columbia, Md., was the contractor. The new system includes eight primary speaker clusters arranged in a circle. Each cluster includes a single MQV1366 full-range, three-way loudspeaker, aimed almost straight down to cover main-level seating, and a single MQV2364 loudspeaker that extends coverage to the mid-seating levels. A distributed delay ring comprised of single MQV1366 full-range units covers the upper-most seating levels.
