New York City's Madison Square Garden unveils a fully revamped arena today. The completion of the unprecedented $1 billion, three-year project brings out celebrities 50 Cent, Adam Ferrara, Actors Chazz Palminteri, Ed Burns, NY Rangers Mark Messier and more.
"I hear it's beautiful I haven't been in yet, I can't wait to see it," comedian Adam Ferrara tells us.
For music artists like rapper 50 Cent, the concert venue is home.
"I got to look around and see what they did to my house," says the hip hop star.
Beastie Boys' Mike D is curious to see the two new Chase Bridges that offer a unique view of arena action.
"I loved it 40 years ago and I'm sure I am going to love it now," says actor Chazz Palminteri.
Actor Edward Burns also recalls the personal significance of the venue.
"As a kid we'd jump on the Long Island rail road come, into Penn Station right up to the Garden and watch my Knicks...every important concert you know Springsteen, U2... I saw here."
And now fans can watch all live entertainment on the new state-of-the-art GardenVision, a center-hung multimedia display.
"I think overall when the Ranger fans... when the Knicks fans come to the great events that are held here they'll be very pleased with the outcome," says New York Rangers legend, Mark Messier.
