I like the idea of MSG being more centrally located, but too much would need to happen too soon for this to be even taken seriously.

If MSG were to move, that would open up the opportunity to create something nice over Penn Station. We wouldn't be stuck with that Garden dome. As office towers, the massing on those sites wouldn't end up that way. What was shown at the community board meeting is really just a vision of what could be done, not a current proposal.

Is it even a part of the currently proposed Empire Station District?

We're talking sites 6,7, and 8. The portion of the block (lower left of the pic) not included was originally included in the governor's plan, but not currently.
The area outlined in yellow is where their idea would fit...
