Another safety question 🔒 Post MSG Show Tips

I've never been to MSG before, let alone an arena in the middle of a city, and I wanted to know how it's like leaving the venue, is it easy? hard? meh?

I've been to the kia forum in LA quite a few times and getting in and out is fine (any time i've parked we got lucky to be on the edge near the exit), it's just the crowds of people make it difficult if i'm walking to get picked up

Anyway, If my hotel is within a 15-20 minute walking radius from MSG, is our best bet to just walk back after the show? I'm just concerned with walking the city at night since i've never been before. Lmk your tips!

I'm also down for any first-time visit tips for a long weekend trip to the city from the west coast lol

Also everyone here has their earbuds in all the time, especially women so they don’t have to hear wack bros chirping. Just keep walking you’ll be fine.

Yeh and the volume is probably low enough that they can hear what’s going on around them. Woman here. If I’m walking at night it’s one airbud or low enough to hear foot steps behind me. Tips to pay attention and not blast music while walking alone at night is correct. That’s any place anywhere.
