48. The old Felt Forum is up stairs under MSG

Wed Oct 9, 2024, 04:12 PM

Oct 2024

The Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden boasts 5,500 seats. Madison Square Garden opened its doors to the public in 1968. The theater within the complex was originally named the Felt Forum after then-president Irving Michell Felt.
Smaller than MSG but well setup for TV. I saw James Brown there in 1992.
