The Shocking Secrets of Madison Square Garden’s Surveillance Machine

A WIRED investigation says Madison Square Garden security, under James Dolan, used cameras, face recognition, and internal watch lists to monitor and exclude people.

The report says surveillance may have extended beyond the arena into nearby areas, based on internal reports and employee accounts.

One woman, identified as Nina Richards, was allegedly tracked for two years, highlighting concerns about targeted monitoring.

The story raises broader questions about privacy, retaliation against critics, and how private venues use biometric tools in public spaces.
