NBA: Playoffs-Indiana Pacers at New York Knicks
(New York, NY) — The Knicks host the Indiana Pacers tonight for Game two of the Eastern Conference finals. New York will try to recover after losing game one in front of a home crowd at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night. New York blew a double digit lead, that led to an overtime loss to the Pacers.
Tickets to get into Madison Square Garden start at $577 on Ticketmaster, and that’s for standing room only. Fans who want to sit courtside right underneath the basket are looking at a more than 20-thousand-dollar ticket for tonight’s game.
The Knicks postseason continues to be a major win for New York City even though the team trails the Indiana Pacers. Mayor Adams says the Knicks’ playoff home games have the potential to generate more than 830-million-dollars in economic activity for all five boroughs. The Knicks have already generated 192-million-dollars this postseason and each playoff game at home is expected to bring in another 91-million-dollars for New York City. The city’s projection accounts for direct impacts of visitor spending, including tickets, merchandise, hotel stays, and transportation.
