The Knicks are keeping security tight for their first NBA Finals home game in 27 years. <\/p>\n

The team announced Saturday a slew of rules they will enforce Monday night at the Garden, including a \u201cstrict no-bag policy,\u201d along with \u201cTSA-style\u201d security measures ahead of NBA Finals Game 3.<\/p>\n

The Knicks suggest fans show up at least two hours before the 8:30 p.m. tip-off to ensure they are at their seats on time for the start of the first quarter.<\/p>\n

\u201cA strict no-bag policy will be in effect, and fans should make every effort to limit personal items to an absolute minimum,\u201d the team wrote. \u201cFans should expect enhanced security measures when entering Madison Square Garden, including TSA-style screening procedures. Guests are strongly encouraged to arrive at least two hours before tip-off to allow additional time for screening and entry.\u201d<\/p>\n

There is also a recommendation for fans to look at the Secret Service website for a list of prohibited items.<\/p>\n

The Garden typically allows bags that fit under one\u2019s seat but do not exceed 22 inches by 14 inches by 9 inches, per the arena\u2019s website.<\/p>\n

The game, already historic enough for a sporting event, is also expected to see President Donald Trump among the attendees. <\/p>\n

After The Post first reported earlier this week that Trump was going to come to the World\u2019s Most Famous Arena, the commander in chief confirmed the news.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the first time a sitting president will attend an NBA Finals game.<\/p>\n

\u201c[The Knicks] find a way to do it,\u201d Trump told reporters Thursday. \u201cThey\u2019re really great, a great team. I\u2019m happy for [Knicks owner] Jim [Dolan] because Jim has really been fighting hard to produce such a team.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

NBA commissioner Adam Silver said that he\u2019s excited for Trump\u2019s attendance and spoke to the president\u2019s bona fides as a Knicks fan well before he took office.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re seeing that in New York, and I think President Trump is very much a New Yorker, and I\u2019m thrilled that yet another New Yorker wants to participate in the enthusiasm and the joy around this Knick team,\u201d Silver said this week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Knicks, after thrilling wins in Games 1 and 2, hold a commanding 2-0 series lead over the Spurs as they look to clinch their first NBA championship since 1973 on home court.<\/p>\n
