The report says MSG needs to move to make room for a bigger, better Penn Station.

Larry Higgs | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com

NJ Transit and two other railroads that use the Penn Station, the subterranean rail stop under Madison Square Garden, said the sports and music arena and train station are not compatible uses and the Garden interferes with plans to improve the station. The report co-authored by Amtrak, NJ Transit and the MTA, was released Friday. In it, the railroads that use Penn Station said “the arena’s configuration atop the Station is a key global constraint” to plans to improve the station, including meeting modern safety codes enacted after both were built in the 1960′s., which is weighing whether to renew the Garden’s special permit to operate the arena.
