It is the place where John Lennon performed for the last time, just before he was shot, it is the place where the legendary Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier face off happened in the ‘fight of the century’ and Michael Jackson’s concert in this arena during his Bad World Tour was voted as the greatest concert ever.

But a foreign politician packing the whole arena in NYC is certainly a matter of interest and astonishment. Tickets for Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi‘s speech and reception at the Madison Square Garden during his ongoing U.S. visit are sold out.
