When the renovation of Madison Square Garden is finished, spectator bridges will hang from the ceiling, allowing a bird's-eye view of the playing surface.

The bridges are expected to be functional by October 2013.

"They'll be like no other seat in professional sports or entertainment," MSG President Hank Ratner said.

"I think probably the Green Monster [at the Boston Red Sox's Fenway Park] is the only thing you could come to making the comparison. But these are going to take it up a notch -- because you're on bridges."

The Garden renovation is expected to cost $775 million to $850 million and will change the entrance, seating, concourses and displays of the arena.
