NY Knicks Game 4 is at 8:30 pm ET today in NYC. How does Madison Square Garden Sports (NYSE: MSGS), the corporate owner of the Knicks, benefit from a home game?
🔹Live attendance: Average ticket price for Knicks Game 3 was $4,000 . Despite MSG Arena being one of the largest indoor arenas in the US, seating was limited and fans were willing to pay the premium.
🔹Media rights: The NBA signed an 11-year national media rights deal at $6.9 billion per year, running through the 2035-2036 season. This deal increases the league's national profile and may positively impact MSG Sports Corporation.
🔹Licensing & sponsorship: Spans across all brand licensing and partnerships, including jersey patch deals, arena naming rights, and more.
MSGS is Gabelli Opportunities in Live & Sports ETF (GOLS) largest holding, representing 10.94% of the portfolio as of June 8, 2026. Wondering how you can get in the game with GOLS? Learn more about GOLS at: m.gabelli.com/GOLS_KnicksSoc…
