TD Garden is Boston’s premier indoor arena and the home of two of the city’s most storied franchises: the NBA’s Boston Celtics and the NHL’s Boston Bruins. Set in the West End, the multi-level venue hosts professional basketball and hockey throughout their seasons as well as major concerts, family shows and other large events. It sits directly atop North Station, making it one of the most transit-accessible arenas in the country.
Inside, the arena seats roughly 19,000 fans for basketball and hockey and is known for its electric playoff atmospheres rooted in decades of championship history. The building also houses The Sports Museum, which celebrates New England’s athletic legacy with memorabilia and exhibits. Because access is tied to event tickets, the best way to experience TD Garden is to catch a game or a show; for visitors short on time, the surrounding West End and nearby North End are easy to fold into the same trip.
