NBA Basketball Arena Review
- TD Garden
 Located in Boston's Downtown North section on Causeway Street, the
TD Garden stands just minutes from the historic North End and
Faneuil Hall. Easily accessible from both I-93 and I-95, this
10-story building hosts not only Boston Celtics' games, it also is
the home to the NHL's Boston Bruins and the Boston Blazers
Professional Lacrosse Team. People traveling to the Garden by
commuter rail can be dropped off at North Station right at the
doorstep of the arena.
As with all sporting events in Boston, the fan interaction can
provide some of the best atmosphere in all of professional sports.
The sheer love and excitement that fans of Boston sports get out of
watching their hometown teams play is something that can't be
matched anywhere else. In the TD Garden, there is a maximum capacity
of 19,580, which dwindles down to around 18,500 when there is a
Celtics game being played. Yet and still, the sheer excitement of
the fans provides a great way to take in a sporting event.
 Built in 1995 to replace the old Boston Garden, TD Garden was
constructed for a total cost of $160 million. With a total size of
755,000 square feet, 13 escalators, and 7 elevators, the Garden
provides ample room for any type of grandiose event. If you find
yourself getting hungry or thirsty while you are watching the game,
you will have 47 different vendors to choose from, most of which
have just recently been added to the Garden. If you want a more
quaint, relaxing experience, TD Garden also has you covered with
many different bars and gourmet restaurants where you can sit back
and enjoy a peaceful meal with a loved one. The Hub is a lounge
located on the Level 4 concourse and is accessible to all patrons
regardless of membership in the Garden's exclusive Premium Club.
If you're looking for a place to spend the night to wind down in
after the adrenaline rush of watching some Celtic Basketball, plan
to stay at the Onyx Hotel or the Liberty Hotel Boston. Both hotels are
within close walking distance to the TD Garden so you won't have to
worry about a long night of travel after the game and by staying in
the area, you're free to partake in the local nightlife.
TD Garden is located adjacent to some excellent bar areas as
Boston is home to some great sports fans that understand the
importance of a night on the town. If you plan to hang out
around TD Garden, be sure to check out The Four's,
Boston Beer Works
and Sullivan's Tap on Canal
Street (for more detail check my
Celtics Review). For a truly
historic evening pub crawl, be sure to check out the
Green Dragon
Tavern and the Bell in Hand Tavern located along the cobblestone
area of Union Street. Both have been around since the
1800's and feature live Irish bands at night and great beer on
draft. If you decide to venture toward the Faneuil Hall
area, be sure to check out Black Rose,
The Tap, and
Red Hat for a
truly epic pub crawl experience.
If you're into more of a club scene, take a walk to the
Greatest Bar. Greatest Bar features a DJ and live music as well as
big screen televisions tuned into the latest sports information for your viewing enjoyment.
For a quieter experience with great drinks and great food, look to
McGann's Irish Pub on Portland St. to provide
you with a charming, neighborhood bar type of atmosphere that will
allow you to relax and enjoy one of your favorite libations.
Points of interest within the city are also plentiful enough that
you will have plenty of options available to you when you are not
attending a game at the TD Garden. Quincy Market near Faneuil Hall
in Boston, which once served as a market for farm-fresh produce in
the early 1800's, is an area that has many different restaurants and
fast food eateries to satisfy anybody taste. You also have the
opportunity to take a walk on the Freedom Trail, which is a 2.5-mile
pathway that takes you past 16 historic landmarks in the Boston
area. From the Bunker Hill Monument to Granary Burial Ground, many
different elements are on display for people to see. If you're
looking to eat at the oldest restaurant in the United States, look
no further than the Union Oyster House located in downtown Boston.
The building was thought to have been built around 1704, and it
continues to be one of the most visited historic buildings in the
entire United States.
Whether you are attending a Boston Bruins game or watching Paul
Pierce and the Celtics make a run at another NBA title, the TD
Garden in Boston is ready to treat you and your family to a night of
fun and excitement. Plenty of local accommodations and a vibrant
nightlife also await your arrival both before and after the event.
With its lavish furnishings and cozy atmosphere, TD Garden is one of
the premier sports complexes in all of the United States.
