After a lot of back and forth, there will be an NBA Finals watch party outside Madison Square Garden in Manhattan on Wednesday night.

This time around, for game 4 of the series between the Knicks and Spurs, the event will be capped at 1,000 people and security is going to be tight.

In response to the announcement, Madison Square Garden Sports Corp. is calling NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani and NYPD Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch ‘New York City's biggest party poopers.'

Gatherings of elated Knicks fans took place outside the arena during the previous series during the team’s historic playoff run, but the area was mostly closed off for the first home game of the Finals on Monday, when President Donald Trump was in attendance.

“We now know these restrictions were never about the President, it was just a convenient excuse to restrict how and when Knicks fans celebrate," MSG said in a statement.

Game 3’s watch party, which was moved to Bryant Park and attracted a crowd of around 7,000, ended in violence with 21 people being arrested, including two accused of assaulting a police officer.

The Mayor posted to X on Tuesday saying “this is a historic, joyful moment for our city. We will not allow it to be disrupted by violence.”

Mamdani noted that Wednesday’s celebration will require tickets.
