Secure zone at MSG bars Knicks fans from gathering, upsetting die‑hards and team owner

A new security measure has been implemented at Madison Square Garden. The measure creates a “secure zone” that blocks fans from gathering outside the arena. Knicks supporters who usually assemble before games are now barred from the area. The restriction has angered die‑hard fans who cherish the pre‑game tradition. Team owner also expressed displeasure with the new rule. Security personnel are enforcing the zone during game days. The change alters the usual atmosphere around the venue. Observers will watch how the policy affects fan engagement moving forward.
