The Garden: A Brief History (or at Least, as Brief as We Can Make It)
Let's rewind a bit. Before it was a mecca for basketball, hockey, and concerts that could make your ears bleed in a good way, Madison Square Garden was just a big, empty space. Someone probably looked at it and thought, "Hey, we should put a really big hoop here." And thus, an empire was born. Or something like that.
Tip: Read the whole thing before forming an opinion.
The Dolan Dynasty
Fast forward to today, and you'll find the Dolan family ruling the roost. Charles Dolan, the original Don of the Garden, started it all. His kids, especially James, have kept the family business thriving. So, if you're dreaming of owning the Garden, you might want to start saving up. Or, you know, just buy a really good basketball hoop for your backyard.

You might be wondering, "Wait, doesn't the Knicks and Rangers play there? Don't they own it?" Nope, not anymore. There was a big ol' split a few years back. Now, the Dolan family owns the Garden itself, and another Dolan-led company owns the Knicks and Rangers. It's like a family feud, but with way more money involved.
Tip: Break it down — section by section.
So, Who's Really in Charge?
In the end, the Dolan family is the big cheese when it comes to Madison Square Garden. They call the shots, book the acts, and probably decide what color the seats should be. So, the next time you're watching a Knicks game or a Taylor Swift concert, remember, you're basically in the Dolan family's living room.
