According to an internal memo reviewed by The Post, Dolan said he is streamlining the organization so it can do a more efficient job with brand strategy and partnerships by leveraging its expertise across its family of companies. Dolan also plans to enlist David Hopkinson, the president of MSG Sports, which controls the Knicks and Rangers, to help guide the Sphere, which is part of Dolan’s Madison Square Garden Entertainment.
