The New York Police Department said Sunday that there will be no watch party outside Madison Square Garden for Game 3 of the NBA Finals between the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs.
The decision is part of enhanced security measures tied to President Donald Trump’s expected attendance at Monday night’s game.
Madison Square Garden is set to host the matchup as the Knicks and Spurs continue their NBA Finals series. With the heightened security plan in place, fans will not be permitted to gather outside the arena for an organized viewing event.
No additional details were announced regarding alternative fan events or changes to arena access for ticketed spectators.
