"Hoylman-Sigal stated, 'I am strongly in favor of correcting the historic mistake of both demolishing Penn Station and placing Madison Square Garden on top of it.'"
"Bottcher remarked, 'I've long advocated for a solution that moves Madison Square Garden so we can finally build a grand Penn Station worthy of New York.'"
President Trump expressed potential support for a Penn Station redevelopment plan that involves relocating Madison Square Garden during a private meeting. The proposal, backed by the Grand Penn Community Alliance, suggests demolishing MSG and constructing a new arena nearby. Local officials, including Manhattan Borough President Brad Hoylman-Sigal and state Senator Erik Bottcher, support the idea, emphasizing the need to rectify the historical mistake of placing MSG atop the original Penn Station. The current site would be transformed into a fountain and lawn.
