Trump trip to Knicks-Spurs Game 3 brings bag ban, street closures
What's new: The NBA said Trump would be the first sitting president to attend an NBA Finals game, with fans urged to arrive two hours early.
President Donald Trump plans to attend Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden on Monday, adding airport-style screening, nearby street closures and a strict no-bag policy for fans. The New York Knicks lead the San Antonio Spurs 2-0 in the best-of-seven series after winning both road games. Secret Service officials said ticketholders should arrive at least two hours before tipoff because of added screening around the arena above Penn Station. Subway and Long Island Rail Road service are expected to keep running through the station. The NBA said it believes no sitting president has previously attended an NBA Finals game. Resale prices were already soaring, with the cheapest tickets on StubHub topping $9,000 Saturday night.
