But this isn't true. It's been sold out when we had Jared Jeffries and were starting Jarrett Jacks corpse. Names don't matter for revenue. The Garden is sold out and boxes are sold out.
I think it's changing now. The Knicks were a middle of pack team in home attendance percentage in 2018 (#15), 2019 (#17) and 2020 (#18).
MSG was full much more often when the Knicks sucked in the 2000s than in the last 10 years. They ranked consistently in the top 10. I remember feeling that it was a waste that the Knicks were so bad because the Garden was always packed and it had this electricity about it, which just wasn't there when the Knicks were bad in the last few years.
