The roar can be heard for blocks, echoing off buildings and funneling through the streets of Manhattan. You may have heard it cascading up Seventh Avenue. Maybe you saw people decked out in orange and blue lining up outside Radio City Music Hall or crashed into them while trying to catch a late train at Penn Station.
Knicks fans have taken over some of New York City’s iconic venues to watch their team’s deepest playoff run in 25 years, riding the waves of joy and pain together even if they cannot afford tickets for the games at Madison Square Garden.
The Knicks have organized watch parties at the Oculus at the World Trade Center, Radio City Music Hall, Central Park and, of course, the Garden itself. Team watch parties are hardly new or exclusive to New York. The Knicks hosted watch parties during the team’s away games during the N.B.A. finals in 1999, and the area outside the Garden has been a spot for impromptu celebrations after big wins for the last few years.
