frustration for the establishments, mostly restaurants and bars, seems to stem from the lack of understanding concerning the event, particularly with regards to security-related issues that may arise on account of the marriage.<\/p>\n<p>Some business owners who spoke with the news outlet said the event may be a \u201cdisaster\u201d for them whether it is anything just like the recent lockdown

the marriage day, unlike regular NBA fans who are inclined to go to his place for the games, despite tight security.<\/p>\n<p>One other business owner, on West thirty third Street, admitted the MSG wedding rumors made him feel \u201csuper irritated,\u201d as a whole lot of people will likely avoid the realm on what can be a Holiday weekend through the ongoing World Cup.<\/p>\n<p>This particular individual then suggested that Swift and Kelce should compensate business owners across the garden, on account of the inconvenience which will arise in consequence of their wedding ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>Yet another small business owner, within the chat with <em>TMZ<\/em>, joked that Swift and Kelce should consider taking their nuptials some other place that isn\u2019t MSG.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, such a move this near the marriage is probably going inconceivable, as Swift is alleged to have rented out the garden for 3 days, paying retail price for the venue, which
