TD Garden

TD Garden sits atop North Station in downtown Boston, the shared home of the Celtics and Bruins and successor to the beloved old Boston Garden next door. Its parquet floor and low, close-in bowl keep the crowd right on top of the action, and the arena doubles as one of the busiest concert stops in the Northeast. Banners and retired numbers ring the rafters for both franchises, giving every game night a museum-like weight. On big nights the building still earns its reputation as one of the loudest, most tradition-soaked arenas in American sports.

The arena opened on September 30, 1995 as the FleetCenter, replacing the original Boston Garden, and was renamed TD Banknorth Garden in 2005 before becoming TD Garden in 2009. It has hosted the 1996 NHL All-Star Game, multiple NBA Finals (including the Celtics' 2008 title run) and Stanley Cup Finals in 2011, 2013 and 2019. The Celtics carry the NBA's all-time record haul of championships into the building, while the Bruins' 2011 Cup run is etched into its recent lore. Decades of concerts, from opening-week performances by James Taylor and Patti LaBelle to countless touring acts, have made it a cultural fixture beyond sports.
