Where next for GTA IV?

Madison Square Garden

What's the fuss about?
Home of the New York Knicks basketball team, the New York Rangers ice hockey side and a chain of WWE events, triple-A boxing matches and superstar concerts, Madison Square Garden would be a prime location in GTA IV for some sports-related betting.

Or perhaps it would give us a chance to kick back and watch some virtual action unfold.

Even better, though, would be for a story mission to take place inside the arena, during an event - like the film Snake Eyes, for instance, where everyone's attention is on the event, enabling you to get away with criminal deeds behind the scenes.

Maybe we could even disrupt an event, bursting onto a basketball game while being chased by the fuzz. And surely Rockstar could create a smirksome alternative name for New York's biggest arena...
