The mood on the street this time has been electric, Badger confirms. “Oh my god, it’s crazy. People walk up to each other and just high-five. We don’t even say anything, just high-five. Just passing by, ‘Let’s go Knicks’ – no matter what borough you’re in. It’s amazing.” This masthead also encountered Matt Ginsburg and Owen Heller, two 21-year-old Knicks fans from New Jersey, and Nick Conforti, a recent bandwagon Knicks fan who dressed as a cow, including udders and a bucket that says “#MOOtion”.
An American football kicker and punter, Conforti has an amateur sports podcast and said his dream was to go to Brisbane to watch the Brisbane Lions play an AFL game. It’s not all celebration, though. The price of admission to Knicks home games has stunned and angered many fans, and sparked another conversation about the place of regular New Yorkers in a city that has long been a playground for bankers, lawyers, celebrities and the ultrarich.
Knicks in four, New York Knicks, $100,000 tickets, Madison Square Garden, New York sports fandom, ticket prices, Matt Ginsburg, Owen Heller, Nick Conforti, #MOOtion
High fives for $100k tickets is insane.
I don’t even get how people pay that. Like are they rich or just dumb? Also the cow thing sounds like it’s making fun of something but idk.
Wait it says $100,000 tickets into rage, but then it’s like “electric” and people high-five? So which one is it, fun or angry? And why is it about regular New Yorkers—aren’t there always expensive seats in MSG? Feels like clickbait.
This is why I’m done with NY sports. They act like it’s a tradition but it’s just bankers pricing out everybody. And the guy dressing as a cow like #MOOtion like that changes the ticket cost lol. Also I saw Brisbane Lions mentioned and I thought this was about Australia or something, not the Knicks.
