Thank goodness there are still some places where you are allowed to criticize the rich and powerful.

TIL Madison Square Garden isn’t like… A public park or garden 😳. In my defence, I’m British and only ever saw the Madison Cube Garden parody on Futurama, which iirc is actually a garden.
An unfortunately small number of venues which clearly would be in the public interest to be publicly-owned are actually publicly-owned. A huge percentage, in fact, are owned by the Ticketmaster vertically-integrated monopoly that forces entertainers to use their venues and scammy ticketing system (they enable scalpers so that they can get an extra cut) by threatening blacklisting of any who don’t play ball.
Yeah the garden part of the name is a little misleading, but even in Futurama the cube is the actual location. And in both modern day/Futurama the square/cube is a venue/arena (which is why they play basketball there in Futurama).
