well...thats kind of hard to answer as you dont specify what game you're going to...if you did then maybe someone on the board will have been before and will be able to help you.

what i can say is that when i collect footy autographs at games here in the uk, i tend to arrive early as you can catch players on their way in, then if you are at the right spot inside the ground you can get more and finally after the game theres another chance. of course, i realise this might be different at basketball games, thats all i can say though.

as for what you get signed - up to you. basketball or pics just make sure you have what you want ready at all times and always have a working sharpie in your hand.

GOOD LUCK

best

NICE!

well guys if theres anyone else out there who has been to a game there, give this lad a shout and offer some advice. if not then good luck with your hunting!

you could always give the venue a call and see if they can offer some advice, or head up early and speak to one of the security officers and see if they can help you with the best place to go.

HAVE FUN

best

MSG has an indoor secure parking facility for the players so trying to get them coming to and from their cars is nearly impossible. The best way is to get there during pre game warm up. doors open 1 hour prior to the game.
