You see, Eddies, the world's most famous arena actually requires 1,000 columns to support that arena.
That's why Penn Station, which is underneath it, feels so cramped.
All those columns are holding up the garden right above it.
But here's the news.
The political planets appear to be finally financially aligning, largely because of President Trump.
The New York City real estate tycoon wants to leave a legacy on the city.
So he's prioritizing a Penn Station glam-up like no other president has before.

Last week, Amtrak named three finalists to redevelop Penn Station from top to bottom.
This is the project of a generation.
And the most exciting of the three plans is called Grand Pen.
Grand Plan and bah!
Honestly, the plans are Napoleonically grand.
Napoleonically.
I'm going to go with that one, Jack.
It's a rebirth of classical architecture inspired by the original Penn Station.
It looks fantastic.
It looks kind of like the Coliseum.
Oh, yeah.
It's got an ancient Roman riz, Jack.
