New York officials are hoping for another four-game sweep by the New York Knicks in this year’s NBA Finals to avoid a clash with a World Cup group stage match at MetLife Stadium.Should the series between the Knicks and San Antonio Spurs reach a Game 6, that match will tip off on Tues., June 16, at 8:30pm at Madison Square Garden, which sits above Penn Station. The World Cup match between France and Senegal begins five-and-a-half hours earlier that day at 3pm, with thousands expected to use that same station to get to the Meadowlands.“I want to make very clear that we are hoping for a sweep,” city mayor Zohran Mamdani said. “We are preparing for anything, because that is our job as New York City government, to ensure that any eventuality is one that we are ready for.”Mamdani addressed reporters alongside New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, speaking from the MTA Rail Control Center in Manhattan on Thursday. They outlined the city’s plans for the World Cup, which begins next week, with their biggest takeaway being for fans to use public transit.“We can handle this. We’ve got this,” Hochul said. “This is what we do best, and for those who are saying, ‘stay home from work’ — no. Come to the city. Celebrate. Otherwise, you’re missing the excitement and the energy.”From installing 33,000 new cameras in subway cars to increasing the numbers of buses and trains traveling across the city and to New Jersey, city officials have spent the last month outlining a plan as well as contingency plans for the 39-day tournament.
