NEW YORK - Today, Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani announced that Bryant Park will serve as an additional Knicks watch party location for Game 3 of the NBA Finals, giving thousands more New Yorkers the opportunity to come together and support the Knicks during their historic Finals run.
The Bryant Park watch party was added by Mayor Mamdani after the U.S. Secret Service and the NYPD determined that a watch party could not be held outside Madison Square Garden due to the heightened security requirements associated with President Trump's attendance at Game 3 of the NBA Finals.
"These watch parties have become a celebration of New York City itself," said Mayor Mamdani. "From every borough and every neighborhood, this city has come together to cheer on the Knicks and share in a moment that belongs to all of us. That's why we're adding Bryant Park as an additional watch party location, so even more fans can be part of this incredible Knicks Finals run. Whether you join us in Bryant Park, Central Park or at Brooklyn Bowl, we invite New Yorkers to come together and support our team. Let's go Knicks."
The Bryant Park watch party is free and open to the public, but registration is required. The event will have a maximum capacity of 5,000 attendees.
In addition to Bryant Park, Knicks watch parties will also be held in Central Park and at Brooklyn Bowl, giving fans across the city multiple opportunities to watch the game together and celebrate this historic moment for New York basketball.
