First encountered it when chatting with the Boston Whitecaps, and have been back once for a game. Uncovered, bench seating hearkens back to Any Given Friday of high school gridiron, and rightfully so - it's the official field for Medford High's football games and track meets. That said, Medford High is pretty generous with loaning out the space to outside orgs, like the aforementioned Major League Ultimate kids. Couple the spectrum of covered events with a dirt cheap, beer-stocked concession stand, ample parking and the blinding brilliance of three kajillion watts in fresh bulbage, and you've got a easy, low-cost way to kill a few hours. Or run a few laps. Whichever.

I…read moreusually bring a fanny-sized purse to avoid bag-policy related issues and this has worked out well for me. I've mostly come for C's games and the food is decent no matter where we've sat. Most recently we saw the C's and sat in the Garden Society - the seats were great and the food was good too. The bathrooms were clean and for once the line was on the men's side. The drink offerings are pretty solid - we didn't get mixed drinks, just beer and cider. I love how they have Downeast on draft. Be prepared to spend more than you're used to - you know how it is, that's how they do it. I was impressed by the giant cookies they had. We tried a peanut butter one and although it was a bit on the sweeter side, we loved it. We didn't get any other food but saw they had a lot to choose from. The giant pizza slices looked good to me. They have lots of memorabilia along the walls and that was fun to check out. All in all, can't wait to be back for another C's game next season!

I am still angry enough weeks later to come back and write this review because the way TD Garden…read morehandled this was ridiculous. First, the bag policy. Apparently customers are just supposed to magically know about it. My wife and I bought tickets for the TWICE concert about a week before, and nowhere on the ticket site was this made clear in a way that actually helped us. We only found out after arriving that only bags under a certain size are allowed inside. If your bag is too big, you have to go downstairs to bag check and pay $15 for them to hold it. So not only are you inconvenienced, you also get charged extra because TD Garden could not be bothered to clearly warn people ahead of time. If we had known, we would have left the bag in the car. Simple. What made it much worse was security. I do not know if they work for TD Garden or some outside company, but they were some of the rudest, most useless people I have dealt with in a long time. From the second we got there, they had attitude. Instead of acting professional and helping people, they looked more interested in flirting, acting cool, and doing the bare minimum. They stopped us because of my wife's bag. My wife is pregnant, so she had important things in it that she needed. Instead of explaining anything clearly, all they kept saying was, "Your bag is too big, go downstairs." That was it. No real directions, no patience, no help. Since it was our first time there, we asked where exactly to go. Same answer: "Just go downstairs." We ended up following other confused people to find the bag check area. That made it obvious this was not just us. A lot of people clearly had no idea about this policy either. Honestly, it started feeling like a scam. So many people show up unaware, get sent downstairs, and suddenly have to pay $15. That should have been clearly stated before people even bought tickets. Then came the worst part: getting the bag back. After the concert, every single person who checked a bag had to go to one single bag claim area. One. For an entire event. So now you have one huge crowded line of tired, frustrated people all trying to get their stuff back at the same time. Whoever thought that was a good system should be embarrassed. My wife is pregnant. She could not stand in that packed line that long, especially with nowhere to sit. There were no chairs, no sitting area, no accommodation, nothing. Just a crowded mess. And because it was only the two of us, I was not about to leave my pregnant wife standing there alone while I ran around trying to fix it. So we explained the situation to security and told them clearly that my wife is pregnant and could not stand in that line like that. Their response? "Get back in line." No concern, no solution, no basic decency. Just "get back in line." One guard told me they could not help. The guard my wife spoke to laughed in her face. Laughed. That was the point where this stopped being an inconvenience and became disgusting. The only reason this got resolved at all was because another person near the front of the line was kind enough to get our bags for us. A complete stranger showed us more compassion than the entire security staff. To that person, thank you again. We are still incredibly grateful. That is why TD Garden gets one star. If you are going to have a strict bag policy, clearly warn people before they arrive. And if you are going to force people into bag check, then at least have a better system and some basic accommodations for people who physically cannot stand in a long crowded line. Most of all, hire better security, because the people working that night were rude, dismissive, immature, and completely unhelpful.

Original Six NHL teams competed in this building when it was the home of the Bruins (1924-28), the Boston Celtics played here in their early days (1946-55), and a veritable who's who of eastern college hockey teams have called the old barn home. The old style entry doors and working heat registers on the walls attest to the age of this hockey haven. This venerable 113-year old building (it opened April 10, 1910) screams hockey history and is not to be missed by any true sports fan.

I was lucky enough to come here 20 years ago when I used to live back East and it was just as special then as it is now.

It would be like if the USS Constitution had White Claw sponsor decals on its hull just because a company was willing to pay money for it...but I digress. We happed to go on a night when the Sox beat the Yankees and that was thrilling, but I doubt I'll even remember that. What I will remember is the intimate setting, the feeling of being INVOLVED in history, and the knowledge that this park has rooted itself in the culture of one of the most beautiful cities on the planet. It's a cathedral to baseball and is a bucket-list item to anyone who cares about our national pastime.
