-The cost to rent MSG (2013 Millrose Games- indoor track event) was $400,000 for one day.

-The cost to rent MSG Theater (where Golden Gloves boxing used to be) is around $100,000/ day

-The cost to rent Barclays Center (2013 high school graduation) was $60,000 for one day.

This is why the WWE (and most other events) are going over to the Barclays rather then MSG.

This. Millrose left a couple of years ago for the Armory and it was a better look for them. All of the elites still show up, its a track-specifc venue, can get packed out and the overhead must be wayyyyyyy less than the logistics of MSG.

And to keep it 100, MSG is washed, even with the renovations. Barclays feels like a nicer college arena and its quirks (and small size) are hidden by concerts where the lighting is focused on the stage.
