Forrest Frank brings The Jesus Generation Tour to Madison Square Garden this Thursday, June 11, with showtime at 7:00 PM ET. If you have tickets, you’re spending the night at one of the most iconic arenas in the world — and everything that matters happens indoors. The only wildcard is the commute.
Getting There on a Hot, Stormy Thursday
The National Weather Service is forecasting a high near 93°F for New York City on Thursday, with a chance of showers and thunderstorms through the day and 10 mph southwest winds. That’s all sidewalk weather — once you clear the doors at MSG, you won’t feel a degree of it. But the walk from the subway or a parking garage can be a sweaty, potentially wet one. Give yourself extra buffer: summer storms routinely back up crosstown traffic and cause train delays. A small umbrella in a clear bag is worth the trouble if you’re walking any distance.
Layer Up Once You’re Inside
After that humid walk in, MSG’s air conditioning will hit you fast. The arena can run noticeably cool, especially in the lower bowl during a packed show. A Forrest Frank hoodie handles both ends of the night — wear it tied around your waist on the walk over, throw it on once you’re in your seat.
Rep the Tour
The energy at a Jesus Generation show is the kind that fills an arena, and the crowd is very much part of it. A Forrest Frank t-shirt or Forrest Frank hat fits the room. Want something to hang after the show? A Forrest Frank poster makes a solid keepsake from a tour stop at MSG.
Protect Your Hearing
Madison Square Garden is loud. Concert ear plugs high fidelity let you hear the mix cleanly without the dull ring the next morning — toss a pair in your pocket before you head out.
Practical Tips
- Arrive by 6:15–6:30 PM ET — storm delays and summer foot traffic stack up fast around Penn Station
- MSG is at 4 Pennsylvania Plaza (7th Ave between 31st and 33rd Streets); Penn Station is steps away and the easiest transit option
- A clear bag policy is in effect — check MSG’s official site for current size limits before you pack
- Outside food and oversized bags are generally not permitted
Thunderstorm or not, the show goes on. Just don’t cut the commute close.
