It's a shame to see what MSG has come in recent years. 90% of the old timers have passed, moved on, or simply have been priced out. Folks who actually care about the team are lucky to be able to afford to go to a handful of games a season if they're lucky and the atmosphere gets worse every year. The physical renovation of MSG didn't kill the atmosphere, there were plenty of games in the 2013-2016 run where it got pretty loud inside but the latest price increase in the last season we made the playoffs was the final nail in the coffin for the few "Diehards" who were barely holding onto tickets.
When I think back to the first year I got season tickets i remember there were hundreds of people who went to each and every game. From game 1 of the pre-season, through the final regular season or playoff game. Now there are maybe a handful of every night folks, and a hundred or so "regulars" who you consistently see around the building most nights.
At this point its way more fun to see them play on Long island or to make a vacation out of it and see them play in Vegas, Florida, or another nice city. The atmosphere is better, its cheaper and year over year more and more fans are showing up on the road so you feel like a part of something cool.
