Notes

Madison Square Garden Bowl was the name of an outdoor arena in the New York City borough of Queens.

Built in 1932, the arena hosted circuses and boxing matches. Its seating capacity was 72,000 spectators on wood bleachers. The idea of the stadium came from boxing promotor Tex Rickard, who died before it was completed.

It was torn down in 1942 and replaced by the US Army Mail Depot, that was replaced in 1960s, and the area is now home to a major World used-card dealership and strip mall.
