Staten Island?

If you build something for people to break, they won’t break it (because you told them to break it)

Ok I’ll get Zorhan on the horn

Basically a Fake Karakura Town from Bleach, iykyk

I guess that’s a lot more realistic than asking people not to be pieces of shit and getting them to comply

NBA needs to partner with Reddit to build a fake sub that NBA fans can legally post dumb stuff in after the Knicks win.

Isn’t the Trump tower in New York?

[removed]

I… actually kind of like this idea.

Knick at Nite

SMASH CiTY

Hamsterdam

Is there any buildings that need demolishing? We’ll use one of those.

Unironically a good idea lol

Sounds expensive, wouldn’t make more sense to just be decent people instead?

I’ll come by in my Godzilla costume

this is unironically a great idea lol. NYC could set up a few blocks near MSG, charge $50 a head, let people go absolutely feral for 30 minutes, and use the proceeds to fund cleanup from actual celebrations. The Knicks just went up 3-1 on a 29-point comeback, the energy in this city right now is unreal. Rage Block would print money.

They can call it the Destroy Zone

I suggest 721–725 Fifth Avenue.

WAIT… This place is real ?

This is smart. Almost like one of those wreck rooms but an entire block

Kalshi can sponsor it, they have been paying people to act like psychos all playoff long, might as well stay committed.

Hire Mel brooks to build a fake rockridge

So a rage room mixed with those fake towns near the DMZ in North Korea?

This is such a fucking good idea

Best idea I’ve seen on the sub all season

That sounds fun af actually

Man the part of NYC where I live has been super chill this entire time. Just people saying “Go Knicks!” the mornings after games to other fans wearing gear. 

I was talking with a Raptors fan the other day who said Toronto brought out decommissioned city buses that people could go and smash when the Raptors won. I thought that was genius.

Rage room, no how bout the rage road?

Only works if they have unsuspecting people to attack 10 to 1

Just like Hamsterdam from The Wire lmao

Isn’t that what Times Square is for?

Sometimes browsing by /new/ is worth it. I love the idea OP.

This was what, season 4 of The Wire?

So like Hamsterdam in the wire!

So championship parade in Philadelphia?

So basically the end of Blazing Saddles?

It’s only believable if you hide a few spurs fans in there.

Just send in the national guard. Let people know rioters will be shot. Doubt itll be a issue.

You are severely underestimating how long NY is going to be celebrating this championship lol 

I’ve always been game for some wacky-ass ideas but even I got stuck thinking “I’m sure this is possible and affordable within the vicinity of MSG”

In 2026, the crime rate in the United States rises four hundred percent. The once great city of New York becomes the one maximum security prison for the entire Knicks Fanbase. A fifty-foot containment wall is erected along the New Jersey shoreline, across the Harlem River, and down along the Brooklyn shoreline. It completely surrounds Manhattan Island. All bridges and waterways are mined. The United States Police Force, like an army, is encamped around the island. There are no guards inside the prison, only prisoners and the worlds they have made. The rules are simple: once you go in, you don’t come out.

I think you are joking but I’m not sure (username checks out?).

But honestly this idea is either ridiculous or fucking genius.

Based on what’s been happening it’s worth a try.

Forget the property damage. What about the physical harassment, intimidation, and bodily injury to perceived fans of the opposing team?

Ah yes, Secaucus.

Or, they can grow tf up.

Here to defend the Knicks as a big time BKN nets fan and Knicks hater: a spurs fan put a 17 year old into a coma. Dont try to pin this on any given fan base, mob mentality is stupid as fuck and people take entertainment wayyyyy too seriously

Is that not what Newark is for?

There is a Staten Island ferry two SNL alums are trying to get rid of…

Hamsterdam

If* series not over.

Rage room for New Yorkers, rage city.

Hamsterdam strategy

Hamsterdam

The fun part is doing damage to the city though. Reminds me of when the SF Giants won and somebody immolated a city bus. 

The minute you start charging people is when they stop showing up these fans aren’t the brightest.

It’s like that dodger fan that got his hand blown off with a firecracker 🧨 last year.

Didn’t find a single Blazing Saddles reference in the comments😥

this has to be a shitpost

No, Knick fans need gentle parenting.

If it’s only one block and you have to pay for tickets, that’s not even gonna move the needle on “fans destroying real stuff”

Good idea in theory, but I think that’d just give them a bunch of momentum to expand their havok past the designated area

Yeah im sure that will happen

Just bus them to Philly.

There was kind of this whole incident with autonomous zones where it’s discouraged now.

Maybe behave?

Sponsored by nerf

Just let them in to trump tower

Every Single Major Sport league should do that. With Winner and Losers.

LOL NYC gone to be in flames thanks

That won’t stop them. Let’s be real here.

If the Chicago didn’t have the second great fire when the Cubs won after the century, then New York should be fine. 

This is much more reasonable than expecting adults to act like decent human beings.

Man this shit is so overblown

KnicksZania

The wire already did this. It’s called hamsterdam. The city and the nba can’t put their names behind the project. Because the people will so over the top and crazy- the destruction will be way more than what you think it will be and it will be so much had PR.

Smash Block

Statue of Liberty is right there

Liability. If the city builds it and says you can break it, they have to make it safe to break. If you get hurt, they’re liable. If you break things you’re not supposed to break, you’re liable.

“Need”? That’s the city government’s problem.

If that’s not first world privilege I don’t know what is. You also can’t get any more American than that.

Uh San Antonio?

synecdoche, new york knicks

A city full of thugs and billionaires, only in NYC. lol

Start with Manhattan and work your way down.

And put out some mannequins in Spurs jerseys to beat up

just destroy penn station so i dont have to go to work, its a shit hole anyway

Great idea San Antonio they can just play pretend everything around Frost Bank Center is the NYC watch party - AFTER ALL about 1000 plus NYC fans will be there Saturday night when the Knicks win it all

how about Syosset?

Real life rage room.

Hamsterdam

Might work on Knick fan. I think they’d fall for it.

Uhhh just to cover our bases also available to demolish if they blow a 3-1 lead too.

Hamsterdam

Lmao, this reminds me of the Fake Karakura Town arc from the Bleach manga.

How about people just control themselves instead? Why does anything need to be destroyed because a team won?

Just tell the people they can destroy their own homes and property all they want

Nah if those animals want to destroy their own city, let em.

Get Nathan Fielder on it

Knick knacks

Or idk, just grow up.

I know of three guys who have done this. Their names are Ed, Edd, and Eddy.

Put Seinfeld right in the middle of it too, in a spurs jersey

Ya know it’s not like the city is on fire or anything? You guys are being fed essentially propaganda films. You’d think our city is in ruins after every game. We’re good, buddy.

Selling tickets means the people who can’t afford it will just break shit anyway, it has to be free.

Not a bad idea. Or make windows and walls that shoot back. Like Police Academy.

Don’t most storefront have those big metal gates on them? We really gonna clutch pearls over some street signs and citibikes?

just give them an ai data center to wreck. good for humanity too

How about they don’t win and everyone lives

Why? There’s no need to humor these man/woman-children. Arrest and prosecute. 

Well after the environmental impact study and putting it out for bid we might have it built in three and a half years at two and a half times the cost compared to anywhere else.

funny enough there’s a bar near MSG called “Break Bar” where you smash all your glasses/dishes when you are done with it lol

Syknickdoche, New York

Just tell them to go to Trump tower.

That’s what staten island is for

Or, call me crazy, people can just not act like fuckwits after a game.

Or just arrest any fucker acting a fool. Throw them in the clink for 6 weeks.

I don’t understand wanting to go smash shit after a win or loss. wtf is wrong with you people?

Crazy how people are suddenly concerned about this meanwhile you had riots in cities for the last few years bc of peaceful protests

I like this idea. Put logos and player faces of all the teams they beat in the playoffs on the different buildings and windows and watch them go crazy lol

Or ya know, just don’t be a complete and totally loser

Fans just need to not be stupid cunts
