How many people are at the Trump MSG rally? The number is difficult to find

One of the world’s most famous New Yorkers is at the World’s Most Famous Arena in New York today.

Former president and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump will host a rally at Madison Square Garden at 5 p.m. The Garden is home to the New York Knicks and Rangers with a variety of shows and concerts in between.

It seats more than 20,000 people for boxing events and typically welcomes more than 19,000 for NHL and NBA games.

How many people are at the Trump MSG rally?

Trump is in Madison Square Garden today to energize Republican voters. The event starts at 5 p.m., but the doors open to visitors at 12 p.m.

Tickets for Trump rallies are typically on a first-come, first-served basis, with no assigned seating. The number of tickets issued is therefore not always equal to the number of visitors.

A study by the Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation shows that Trump’s demonstrations do an average of about 5,600 people this year.

While a venue called Madison Square Garden has been around for nearly a century, the current arena has been open since 1968.

Madison Square Garden hasn’t hosted a political event in a long time. New York City and the surrounding area have been a Democratic stronghold during the recent presidential elections.

But New York City did throw his hat in the ring hosting this year’s Democratic National Convention. The DNC was at MSG in 1924, 1976, 1980 and 1992. The arena hosted the Republican National Convention in 2004.

Former Presidents John F. Kennedy, Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Richard Nixon held events at MSG. FDR and Nixon’s events were campaign rallies.

Other global figures have visited the Garden in recent decades, some with better legacies than others. Pope Francis held a Mass at MSG in 2015 before a packed crowd. Pope John Paul II also held a youth meeting at the arena in 1979.

In February 1939, the arena hosted a meeting of the German-American Bund, a Nazi-supporting American group that gained popularity during World War II. The arena was full for that event.
