纽约——在尼克斯队的整个季后赛征程中，成千上万欣喜若狂的球迷涌上麦迪逊广场花园外的街头，经常齐声高喊着一句两个单词的口号：“我们在外面（We outside）。”
但随着球队迎来27年来首次在主场举办的NBA总决赛，纽约市开始限制在这座著名球馆外进行自发聚集。
纽约市市长佐兰·马姆达尼 (Zohran Mamdani) 和警方列举了实施这一禁令的多种原因，其中包括总统唐纳德·特朗普 (Donald Trump) 出席了周一的第三场比赛。
在周三的第四场比赛开始前，纽约市警察局（NYPD）宣布将再次阻止球迷在麦迪逊广场花园周围聚集，除非他们是要入场观赛，或者在“该区域有特定事务”。
相反，纽约市表示已批准一项许可，允许1000名球迷参加球馆外的户外看球派对——这是此前观赛派对的缩减版。此前，纽约市警察局曾因秩序混乱试图取消此类派对，但随后改变了主意。
否则，球迷需要有“获批的理由”才能进入围绕球馆延伸数个街区的安全警戒线内。警方表示，虽然酒吧和餐馆可以继续营业，但必须遵守“严格的人数限制”。
周三比赛开始前几个小时，尼克斯队老板詹姆斯·多兰 (James Dolan) 表示，由于纽约市繁琐的安全限制，他将取消这次户外看球派对。
麦迪逊广场花园公司发表声明，指责马姆达尼将球馆周围的街道变成了“警察国家”，以“将庆祝的球迷拒之门外”。
多兰在接受纽约WFAN电台采访时，将矛头直指市领导层。
“我认为他们对自己的警力没有信心，”他说道，“市长办公室以及（警察）局长杰西卡·蒂施 (Jessica Tisch) 同样缺乏经验。他们以前从未管理过这样的活动。这就像花生酱和果酱三明治——酱汁都从旁边挤出来了。”
这一冲突再次让人们关注到马姆达尼与蒂施之间摇摇欲坠的盟友关系。在一些人看来，这些安全限制似乎与马姆达尼更广泛的施政纲领相左，后者的纲领包括改善公共场所的准入，以及限制纽约市警察局对重大事件的管控方式。
“从历史上看，纽约市警察局对人群的无序行为极其规避风险，无论是庆祝活动还是抗议活动，”哥伦比亚大学研究警务的法学教授杰弗里·法根 (Jeffrey Fagan) 表示，“市长现在面临着艰难的权衡：一边是尼克斯球迷的强烈情绪，另一边是如果人群控制不够严密所带来的政治风险。”
据两位熟悉会议情况的知情人士透露，最近几天，马姆达尼政府的成员曾向蒂施施压，要求允许在麦迪逊广场花园外以某种形式继续举办看球派对。由于未获授权讨论此事，这两位知情人士向美联社（The Associated Press）要求匿名。
作为交换，蒂施主张设立安全警戒线，理由是需要控制有时会变得暴力和失控的人群。最近在曼哈顿举行的一些球迷聚集活动已导致数十人被捕，并造成数名警察受伤。
在周一尼克斯队输球后，至少有21人被拘留。纽约市警察局还表示，他们正在搜寻一个团伙的成员，该团伙在对一名男子拳打脚踢的同时，强行扒掉了他身上的圣安东尼奥马刺队球衣。
肖恩·格德斯 (Shaun Geddes) 是一位经营着一家热门尼克斯播客的球迷，他表示自己曾在球馆外庆祝过多次晋级系列赛的胜利，并发现绝大多数球迷都非常克制和礼貌。
“但也有那么一小撮人，在外面假扮成尼克斯球迷，做一些博眼球的行为，只为了在TikTok上走红，”格德斯补充道，“但作为尼克斯球迷充满激情，并不意味着要去袭击任何人。”
针对关闭区域的批评，纽约市政府官员指出，他们目前所处的境地在近期并没有先例可循。自1999年以来，尼克斯队就再未打进过NBA总决赛。而该市的大多数其他主要职业球队，都在人口较不稠密的外围行政区或新泽西州进行比赛。
但是，当同样在麦迪逊广场花园进行主场比赛的纽约游骑兵队上一次夺得斯坦利杯（1994年）时，纽约市警察局在管理兴高采烈的球迷时采取了另一种方法。
在那场比赛前，警方宣布他们将清理球馆周围可能被用作投掷物的物品，如金属垃圾桶或杂物，但会允许球迷自由活动。
“我们预计球迷们会非常喧闹，”时任纽约市警察局局长艾伦·霍尔 (Allen Hoehl) 在1994年的一场新闻发布会上表示，“如果他们想从这里走到那里，我们会在任何方向为他们护送。”

NYPD bans spontaneous gatherings outside MSG ahead of Game 4
NEW YORK – Throughout the Knicks’ playoff run, thousands of deliriously happy fans have flooded the streets outside Madison Square Garden, often invoking a two-word rallying cry: “We outside.”
But as the team hosts its first NBA Finals games in 27 years, the city is restricting spontaneous gatherings outside the famed arena.
New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani and the police department have cited a range of reasons for the ban, including President Donald Trump’s attendance at Monday’s Game 3.
Ahead of Game 4 on Wednesday, the NYPD announced it would again prevent fans from gathering around MSG, unless they were going to the game or had “business specific to that area.”
Instead, the city said it had approved a permit to allow 1,000 fans access to a watch party outside the Garden – a scaled-down version of previous viewing parties, which the NYPD had sought to have canceled for rowdiness before later reversing course.
Otherwise, fans needed an “authorized reason” to be inside a security perimeter that stretches for several blocks around the arena. While bars and restaurants could stay open, they were subject to “strict capacity limits,” police said.
Hours before the game Wednesday, Knicks owner James Dolan said he was canceling the watch party because of the city’s onerous security restrictions.
A statement released by the Madison Square Garden Co. accused Mamdani of transforming the streets around the arena into a “police state” to “freeze out fans from celebrating.”
Dolan, in an interview on New York’s WFAN, took aim at city leadership.
“I don’t think they have faith in their own police force,” he said. “The mayor’s office, and the [police] commissioner (Jessica Tisch), too, do not have the experience. They have never managed anything like this before. It’s like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches – coming out the sides.”
The conflict has again focused attention on the shaky alliance between Mamdani and Tisch. To some, the security restrictions appeared at odds with Mamdani’s broader agenda, which included improving access to public spaces and limiting how the NYPD polices major events.
“The NYPD is historically extremely risk averse to disorderly behavior by crowds, whether they be celebratory or protesting,” said Jeffrey Fagan, a law professor at Columbia University who studies policing. “The mayor now faces a difficult calculus between the strong emotions of Knicks fans and the political risks if crowd control isn’t airtight.”
In recent days, members of Mamdani’s administration have pressed Tisch to allow some version of the watch parties to go forward outside Madison Square Garden, according to two people familiar with the meetings, who spoke with The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to discuss the matter.
In exchange, Tisch has advocated for the security perimeter, citing the need to control against crowds that have at times become violent and unruly. Some recent fan gatherings in Manhattan have led to dozens of arrests and several injuries to police officers.
Following the Knicks′ loss Monday, at least 21 people were taken into custody. The NYPD also said it was searching for members of a group that ripped a San Antonio Spurs jersey off a man while punching and kicking him.
Shaun Geddes, a Knicks fan who runs a popular podcast about the team, said he had celebrated multiple series-clinching victories outside the arena and found the vast majority of fans were respectful.
“Then there’s a small group of people out there cosplaying as Knicks fans and doing performative things to go viral on TikTok,” Geddes added. “But being passionate as a Knicks fan doesn’t mean assaulting anyone.”
In response to criticism about the closure, city officials noted there wasn’t a recent precedent for the position in which they now find themselves. The Knicks have not been to an NBA Finals since 1999. Most of the city’s other major sports teams play in the less-crowded outer boroughs or in New Jersey.
But when the New York Rangers – who also play in the Garden – last won the Stanley Cup, in 1994, the NYPD took another approach to managing elated fans.
Ahead of the game, police announced they would clear the area around the arena of potential projectiles, like metal trash cans or debris, but would allow fans to move freely.
“We expect the fans to be extremely vocal,” Allen Hoehl, an NYPD chief at the time, said at a 1994 news conference. “If they want to go from here to there, we’ll escort them in any direction.”
