Throughout sports
there are many classic arenas and stadiums that are replaced by new
modern sports facilities. TD Banknorth Garden is included in this as it
replaced one of the most classic arenas in all of sports, the Boston Garden.
For nearly 50 years the Celtics played here winning 16 NBA
Championships. The Boston
Garden had many design flaws that made it unique and different from
other arenas in the NBA such as obstructed seating. In the early 1990s,
both tenants of the Boston
Garden, the Celtics and the
Bruins (NHL), wanted a new modern facility built. Construction on a
new $160 million arena began in May 1993 and was paid using city bonds. |

Originally known
as the FleetCenter, the Boston Celtics played their first game at their
new arena on November 3,1995 against the
Milwaukee Bucks. With a capacity of over 18,000, 2,400 club seats and 104
luxury suites, the Celtics home has many more amenities and features than
the Boston Garden
had. In July 2005, the arena was renamed
TD BankNorth Garden after TD BankNorth agreed to a 20 year contract through
2025. The arena features three private restaurants including the Premium
Club Restaurant. One legendary feature that came from the Boston Garden
to the TD BankNorth Garden is the parquet floor that is found at only three
NBA arenas. This flooring has been used since World War II and features a
distinguishing look. Fans attending games at TD BankNorth Garden can visit
the Sports Museum for New England Sports History and see memorabilia from a
variety of sports. Recently a new multimillion dollar 360 degree video
scoreboard was
added to the arena. The Celtics and the Bruins (NHL) are the primary tenants
of TD BankNorth Garden. In June 2008 the Celtics won their first NBA
Championship at TD Banknorth Garden in six games against the Los Angeles
Lakers.
