TD Garden

TD Garden 100 Legends Way, Boston, MA 02114   The TD Garden, formerly known as the FleetCenter and the TD Banknorth Garden, is the home of the Boston Bruins and Boston Celtics.  Construction was completed in a way that provides Boston with a modern arena venue while still preserving the tradition of the Garden, in specific respect to the old Garden that once stood near the same spot.  The parquet court design is one of the ways they do that.  Boston and Orlando are the last two teams to use that pattern.  Also, when Bank of America bought out Fleet Bank in 2005, nullifying the naming rights deal, the Celtics held 30 one-day eBay auctions for fans to name the arena.  TD Garden has now had 33 different names, by far the most of any major venue in the United States.     In 2006 it underwent a major renovation, including HD video boards, a vintage siren, video advertising panels, and more.  The arena hosted the 2004 Democratic National Convention and has hosted countless other big events, like Disney on Ice, graduations, seminars, Northeastern University’s commencement, Tim Allen, Chris Rock, Louis CK, WWE, UFC, Lady Gaga, Cher, and many more.  New plans call for redevelopment above above the Garden in two towers for residential, commercial, hotel, and retail space.  Plus a $70 million upgrade to the Garden’s concourses and Legends Club restaurant are keeping the TD Garden a world class facility.  The TD Garden is directly above Boston North Station, making for easy connections with Amtrak, the MBTA, and Green and Orange Lines of the T.
