Description: MADISON SQUARE GARDEN IIIMadison Square Garden III, often referred to simply as "The Garden," was one of the most iconic sports and entertainment venues in New York City during its existence from 1925 to 1968. Located at 50th Street and 8th Avenue, this version of the Garden was the third iteration of the famous arena and could seat around 18,000 spectators for sporting events. It was designed by architect Thomas W. Lamb and had a distinct Mediterranean style, with an impressive interior that hosted everything from boxing matches to hockey games, basketball tournaments, and concerts.Madison Square Garden III was home to several major sports teams, most notably the New York Rangers of the National Hockey League (NHL) and the New York Knicks of the National Basketball Association (NBA). The Rangers played their home games there from the team's founding in 1926 until the arena's closure in 1968, winning multiple Stanley Cup titles during this time, including their first in 1928. The Knicks began playing at the Garden in 1946 as one of the charter franchises of the Basketball Association of America (BAA), which later merged to form the NBA. The Garden also hosted the National Invitation Tournament (NIT) for college basketball and became synonymous with the sport.Aside from team sports, Madison Square Garden III was a legendary boxing venue, hosting numerous historic fights, including those featuring boxing greats like Joe Louis, Sugar Ray Robinson, and Rocky Marciano. The arena was also famous for its concerts and cultural events, making it a key part of New York’s social fabric. Its demolition in 1968 marked the end of an era, as the fourth and current Madison Square Garden was constructed to carry on its legacy. Unused 3 1/2" x 5 1/2" standard size chrome postcard.
