After our tour of Radio City, the seven of us trekked over to Madison Square Garden. Madison Square Garden is another gem of New York City filled with such rich history. Many people visualize Madison Square Garden as primarily a sports venue home to the Rangers, Knicks, and Liberty, but that’s not the case at all. The space is a landmark to New York City that focuses on concerts, entertainment, sports, and theatrical performances. Although this is true, the venue prides itself on its fans and past history. From the minute you walk into the venue, you’re up close and personal to the history because it’s documented on the walls. From the captivating photographs and timelines posted on the wall to the warm welcomes received by staff members, Madison Square Garden is a venue that prides itself on history. It was really interesting to see this because we are starting a tradition right here at the Zone. 
We also learned from this experience how valuable patrons are to any successful venue. Patrons aren’t just customers, potential buyers, or guests. Although they can make any business successful or profitable, they will come back for the joy and experience. It’s not just about the money – it’s the experience. That’s really what I believe we are trying to do here at the Zone. We’re trying to create a legacy, a place where people look forward to coming to. Although I’m a graduating senior this year, I feel that I’m part of something big, something that people will keep coming back to. I must admit, I’m a little envious that a place like this didn’t exist when I was younger.
Stick with us and keep checking back in!
