Summary
President Trump’s NBA Finals visit to Madison Square Garden triggered major security changes, including the shutdown of the outdoor watch party — a move the NYPD and Secret Service say is essential for public safety after last Friday’s chaotic celebration that led to over 20 arrests. While the city had briefly considered canceling all outdoor events, they reversed course for Game One — but not this time. With the Knicks’ run to the Finals, fans were disappointed, but official watch parties at Wollman Rink and Brooklyn Bowl — already sold out — were the only alternatives. For those heading to the game, expect to arrive two hours early and face TSA-style bag checks, as the Knicks enforce a strict no-bag policy to ensure security.
