About Madison Square Garden Entertain
About Madison Square Garden Entertain
Madison Square Garden Entertainment operates five venues — Madison Square Garden (The Garden), The Theater at Madison Square Garden, Radio City Music Hall, the Beacon Theatre, and The Chicago Theatre — concentrated almost entirely in New York City, with only The Chicago Theatre located outside it. In fiscal 2025 the company hosted nearly 6 million guests across more than 975 events, and its Christmas Spectacular Starring the Radio City Rockettes production alone accounted for 18% of that year's revenue.
Madison Square Garden Entertainment earns revenue mainly by licensing its venues to third-party promoters for a fee rather than bearing the financial risk of producing shows itself, supplemented by premium hospitality — suites, clubs, and corporate sponsorships sold mostly under multi-year agreements with annual escalators — and by ticket, food and beverage, and merchandise sales from its own productions and events. A distinct revenue stream comes from 35-year Arena License Agreements running through 2055 under which the NBA's Knicks and NHL's Rangers, both owned by MSG Sports, pay annual fees to play all home games at The Garden; those fees, and the suite and sponsorship sales tied to the teams' popularity, rise and fall with the Knicks' and Rangers' on-court and on-ice success. The Beacon Theatre and Radio City Music Hall are leased rather than owned, with leases expiring in 2036 and 2038, respectively, each carrying a ten-year renewal option.
Show full overview
Madison Square Garden Entertainment's home arena depends on a limited New York City real estate tax exemption worth $43.0 million in fiscal 2025 and a zoning special permit that must be periodically renewed — most recently for just five years in September 2023, versus a prior ten-year term — with government officials and transit agencies using the renewal process to push for cash contributions or property transfers tied to a potential Penn Station redevelopment beneath The Garden. Neither the tax exemption nor the permit is guaranteed to renew on current terms, and the Arena License Agreements only partially insulate the company: if the tax exemption is repealed, the Knicks' and Rangers' annual license fees are reduced, but by less than the property tax the teams would then owe.
