Williams, Azarenka and Del Potro Check Out Progress Of Madison Square Garden Transformation

August 24, 2012: Serena Williams, Victoria Azarenka and Juan Martin del Potro checked out the Transformation at Madison Square Garden on Friday. They were on hand to announce the 6th annual BNP Paribas Showdown at The Garden on March 4, 2013. |

Several of the world’s top tennis players stopped by Madison Square Garden to check out progress on the second phase of the Arena’s extensive, top-to-bottom three-year Transformation. Tennis World No. 1 Victoria Azarenka, Wimbledon champion and Olympic gold medalist Serena Williams and Olympic bronze medalist Juan Martin del Potro, were on hand to announce the 6th annual BNP Paribas Showdown. The players will be joined by former World No. 1 and eleven time Grand Slam champion, Rafael Nadal, for another great night of tennis at The Garden on March 4, 2013.

When The Garden reopens this Fall, the upper bowl will be completely transformed, including an expanded upper level concourse with new food and beverage options and city views, new upper bowl seating area with significantly enhanced sightlines, new Madison Level Suites and Madison Club, and an homage to The Garden’s history will be unveiled on the Madison Concourse (6th floor). There are currently more than 1000 construction workers working around the clock daily to get the building ready to reopen this Fall.

Work on The Garden Transformation will continue to be a year-round project, sequenced to maximize construction efforts during the remaining two offseason shutdowns (2012, 2013). The first phase of the Transformation was completed for the 2011-12 season and included a completely transformed lower bowl of the Arena. When completed, the building will be transformed into a state-of-the-art facility that lives up to its iconic stature, while preserving The Garden’s great history and distinctive architecture.

Tickets will start at $50.00 and will go on sale October 9 @ 10:00 a.m. and can be purchased at the Madison Square Garden box office, online at www.thegarden.com and all Ticketmaster outlets.
