Madison Square Garden was an indoor arena in New York City, the second by that name, and the second to be located at 26th Street and Madison Avenue in Manhattan.
 Built in 1890 at the cost of a half-million dollars and closing in 1925, the arena hosted numerous events, including boxing matches, orchestral performances, light operas and romantic comedies, the annual French Ball, both the Barnum and the Ringling circuses, and the Democratic National Convention in 1924, which nominated John W. Davis after 103 ballots.
 The 1890 version replaced the first Madison Square Garden, and was itself replaced by the third Madison Square Garden (which was the first to be located away from Madison Square).
The Madison Square Garden Towers were the name of proposed twin 1400 ft residential skyscrapers that were to be constructed north of Madison Square Garden in Midtown Manhattan, New York City.
 The project featured a complex of seven buildings, including a stadium and a new Penn Station.
 The cost of the project was US$14 billion.
 The architects Norman Foster and David Childs, and the architectural firm Skidmore, Owings and Merrill were designing the project.
 The owners were Stephen Ross of Related Cos. and Steven Roth of Vornado Realty Trust.
 The towers would have risen to be two of the tallest structures in the Midtown Manhattan skyline, with one rising higher than the Empire State Building, currently one of New York's tallest buildings at 1,250 feet (381 m) and would also have been higher than the roof, though not the spire, of One World Trade Center.
 The towers are essentially canceled as Madison Square Garden is going ahead with renovations of the current arena, rather than a relocation that would have made the towers possible.
