Spa, in Belgium?
That's in a pleasant wooded location, as far as I know.

:tup: Yep, MSG 'The Garden' - venue for many a famous boxing match over the years and home to bastketball (NY Knicks) and Ice Hockey (NY Rangers).

When my wife and I visited New York, must be well over 20yrs ago now (in a time before kids), we took in a Rangers hockey game, against the Washington Capitals, at MSG. Wayne Gretzky was playing for the Rangers at the time - so the only professional ice hockey game I've been to (other than one Cardiff Devils game) and by chance managed to see of the best (the best ?) player of all time.

I saw tennis there. Bjorg, Connors, Lendl and McEnroe. Quite a line-up.

McEnroe in NY must have had some support.

Saw the Knicks there 2 years ago. The Knicks are awful. Bit of a novelty as friend got us into great seats near the Court, but we ended up going up to the Bridge. Big cans (think they called them tallboys) were $28...

Another like the Marseilles one , looks like racetrack in distance , but it looks like a US city , mainly because of the amount of high rise buildings . Could be well off track there though . Also looks like msg in background as well , but I don't think it is , just similar shape .
