The New York Knicks play their home games at Madison Square Garden, and, from 1946 until its opening in 1968, played at its predecessor by the same name. However, between 1946 and 1960, that earlier version of Madison Square Garden was not always available for the Knicks to play there, causing them to periodically move to the 69th Regiment Armory instead. They even played their home NBA Finals games there in 1951, 1952, and 1953.
