Geocache Description:

Welcome to the World's Most Famous Arena. Madison Square Garden. Home to the NY Knicks, NY Rangers and NY Liberty.

I've always thought there should be a cache in the area since so many people pass through this place on a weekly basis. Found a perfect place across the street. Whether waiting for a train or a concert this should prove to be an easy find for locals and tourists alike. I've also named it 33 for the great Knicks center Patrick Ewing who wore the number 33. The Rangers who won the Stanley Cup in 1933 (not in this building though). 33rd street (which should be renamed "Patrick Ewing Way" someday) which borders the Garden and the cache. (And my 33rd birthday when I released this cache :))

Watch out for "locals" (double-meaning) and security cams. It is right out of view of the cams. Please make sure lid is sealed tight. Can be an odd fit.

Please also make sure to be somewhat stealthy. Cache is hard to retrieve and replace without being noticed. So use the old cellphone use tricks.

Area is wheelchair accessible but cache is not.

Sign states its open from 7am to 7pm, so go before your MSG event.

This is a lot tougher in the Summer months and nice days. Probably 3-star muggle factor in the summer. Easy in the Winter.

Recently nominated for Best Lunchtime Cache of 2008 by the Metro New York Geocaching Society!
