Saturday's grid asked solvers to walk the halls of Madison Square Garden in their minds — to recall the roar of a crowd, the glow of a JUMBOTRON, the banners hanging in the RAFTERS — and find meaning in the spaces where sport and city converge. The spangram GARDEN PARTY, hiding a double life as both social occasion and storied arena, reminded us that the cleverest puzzles are the ones that reward not just knowledge, but belonging.
