Madison Square Garden People

I don't see why not - they may check bags randomly like they do at Shea Stadium. Besides, all the Ranger fans are dressed in business suits - I bet most have briefcases... they sell out from giving out tickets to businesses, not because they have real fans. 😀
 
cool! the jimmy v classic

the laptop shouldn't be a problem, aside from the normal risk to the laptop.

Bag Searches

Madison Square Garden asks all guests to arrive early and travel light. All persons and bags are subject to search. Bags that have passed inspection must fit comfortably under your seat. Oversized bags are prohibited. MSG does not provide an area to check bags, coats or any other personal belongings. We are not responsible for any property that is lost, stolen, or damaged.


Cameras

Video cameras, monopods, tripods, audio recording devices and cameras with telephoto or zoom lenses are not permitted inside Madison Square Garden at any time. This policy will be strictly enforced. You may bring in a disposable or 35mm camera (with no zoom or telephoto lens), however, for some events, cameras of any type and/or flash photography may be prohibited.

Interesting, I remember seeing some kid with a dslr + zoom lens at the last basketball game I went to and thought it was odd. I checked the arena's policy though and it isn't against the rules.
