This was followed by a full street closure, which went into effect overnight, allowing crews to erect a “drive-through tent” next to a separate “entrance tent". Videos and photos from outside the venue show a white tent being put up to conceal the inner workings of the location. Access to Penn Station — the busiest rail hub in the U.S., sitting directly below the arena — will be heavily restricted, with transit users urged to use a separate entrance further from the venue. Several blocks surrounding the arena will be off-limits to vehicles and partially closed to pedestrians, according to information shared by police.
