TD Garden
TD Garden Review
Diehards still moan about the loss of the old Boston Garden, a much more intimate venue than this mammoth facility, which opened in 1995. A decade after it opened as the FleetCenter, the home of the Celtics (basketball) and Bruins (hockey) is once again known as the good old "Gah-den," and its air-conditioning, comfier seats, improved food selection, 1,200-vehicle parking garage, and nearly double number of bathrooms, has won grudging acceptance. The Garden occasionally offers public-skating sessions in the winter; call ahead for hours and prices.
Sports Museum of New England. The fifth and sixth levels of the TD Garden house the Sports Museum of New England, where displays of memorabilia and photographs showcase local sports history and legends. Take a tour of the locker and interview rooms (off-season only), test your sports knowledge with interactive games, or see how you stand up to life-size statues of heroes Carl Yastrzemski and Larry Bird. The museum is open daily 10-4, with admission allowed only on the hour. Last entrance is at 3 pm on most days, 2 pm on game days; admission is $10. Use west premium seating entrance. 617/624-1234. www.sportsmuseum.org. $10.
