Knicks owner James Dolan was also in the suite with Trump on his left when he was shown.This reception by fans in New York City was much different from another key sporting event this year the College Football National Championship.College football fans ate up the moment that Trump was on the Jumbotron at Hard Rock Stadium. Similarly, Trump was shown during the national anthem before the game. As he was surrounded by his grandchildren, Trump waved to the crowd, who went raucous with cheers.SECRET SERVICE, TSA AND NYPD TRANSFORM MADISON SQUARE GARDEN INTO FORTRESS FOR TRUMP'S NBA FINALS VISITNew York fans clearly didnt share the same sentiment as those from Florida.Trumps arrival in New York involved enhanced security throughout the city. A security fence went up around MSG, Secret Service and more law enforcement officials performed their duties to the highest standard, which meant longer lines and wait times to get into the arena.NYPD also announced vehicles and pedestrian traffic were closed from West 30th Street to West 35th Street between Sixth Avenue and Eighth Avenue at 4 p.m.And watch parties in the area were canceled, with NYPD claiming it was because of security for Trumps visit. "The NYPD in coordination with the Secret Service made the decision for Game 3, where we have a presidential visit, that we could not support watch parties right outside of the Garden," Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said during a news conference. "We are looking forward to bringing back watch parties for Game 4. But I think New Yorkers are used to presidents coming to town, and they understand that that generally means lockdowns of areas and that's what you're going to see tonight at the Garden."MSG pushed back on NYPDs stance, saying the permit was denied by local city officials rather than Trumps presence.Trump has attended numerous sporting events since beginning his second term, including the Super Bowl in New Orleans two seasons ago, the Daytona 500 and the Ryder Cup.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on Xand subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
