As a real estate magnate, Donald Trump helped shape New York City’s skyline through the development of a number of skyscrapers. Now, as president, he’s shown interest in another bold project: relocating Madison Square Garden, one of the city’s most well-known landmarks.
He has listened to a proposal that would move the famed arena — which seats up to 20,000 people — in order to rebuild Penn Station, according to Gothamist. The station, a sprawling Beaux‑Arts structure, was demolished in the 1960s to make room for the stadium, but its underground concourses and platforms are still in use, servicing more than half a million daily riders.
