Eh, asbestos isn't a big deal as long as you don't inhale dust from it, and even then, I think you have to have consistent exposure to it to really worry

You would think Asbestos would be the first thing they take care of before renovating.. screw that I would think there would be check ups every few years at least. Lordy

Some countries have people living in houses full asbestos on daily basis. However, They're very careful about it here in the states and you can't really blame them for it.

I guess they just decided not to take care of the arena anymore with the renovations coming up.

asbestos fragments act like Pearls for cancer in your lungs. Best to avoid them at all costs.

Yup, just kinda putting it out there that this doesn't exactly mean everyone who's been to the Garden is going to die of lung cancer or something.

Please. Asbestos is very hard to get cancer from. You have to inhale, at length, of airborne particles.

Obviously asbestos falling from that height would create a cloud on impact, but after it is abated/disposed of there will be no further issues.

Cancelling a game because of this? My god, what a nanny state.

Check that, what a legalistic state of affairs. If a fan or player saw the asbestos it would probably be millions in lawsuits. "An abundance of caution". Hah.

I'm not a expert on it but if it's not that big of a deal then the wrong person got word of this asbestos situation and now MSG is just doing this to save their ass.

I actually remember my date mentioning something about the ceiling looking dingy during the Colorado game this season- we sat in the 400s.

To be a nanny state it has to actually involve... the state.

Sounds like this was a business decision by MSG to avoid lawsuits... so... damn legal system and accountability!

That dosen't sound too good.

Maybe I'm the only one, but I wouldn't mind a brand new arena.

Key line in MSG statement: "We will not reopen the Garden until we are absolutely assured the arena is safe." Asbestos is a serious issue.
