I visited Boston with a couple of my girlfriends for a weekend getaway and we decided to attend a Celtics game at the popular "Gah-den"! Anyone and everyone knows that Boston has a history of winning from the early days so the people here in general are very die hard and knowledgeable about their team and sports. Attending here you can see the Celtics and Bruins Championship banners being displayed, what a legacy! Getting to the arena was easy since there's a train station here. And since it's a destination, there's tons of restaurants and stores around. My girlfriends got to the arena early so we decided to pre-game in one of the local pubs around, and everyone was pretty much sporting their Boston gear. Since it was game day, the city was filled with people so very easy to walk around at night even with a crowd of only girls. The arena itself is old, from the steps, escalators, walls and seats (uncomfortable wooden ones). There seemed to be lines everywhere you turn, to go up the escalators, to the bathrooms, to get food/drinks. If you're seated in the nosebleeds, they pretty much suck. The court felt so far and the TV was definitely a challenge to watch because it was also small. But you go here for the experience and you can definitely feel the aura of sports fever and pride! read more

Recently went on my first trip to Boston. I decided to see the Pittsburgh Penguins play the Boston Bruins play at TD Garden. Easily purchased tickets using my StubHub app. On game day I took a taxi to the arena. Took a photo in front of the Bobby Orr statue and headed into the arena. I've never used my phone as the ticket before but was presently surprised when after it was scanned I was given a ticket. The staff in this arena is so helpful. I was looking for a different size hoody for a friend and the manager called around as able to locate one. If I wasn't a diehard Kings fan I might have bought something for myself. At the concession they have some pretty good food options. I selected the footlong slice of pepperoni pizza and a grilled cheese lobster sandwich. Oh my God. They give you large pieces of lobster. Plus it even came with potato chips and a small serving of clam chowder. It was a great experience and I would highly recommend. The Boston Bruins even shutout (kept the other team from scoring) the Penguins. read more

I am a huge B's fan and pretty much only went to Boston to go see them. Got tickets off Ticket Liquidator - second row, next to home bench! The staff here was super friendly from what I experienced. I read ahead of time and only showed up with my small cross-body and went through security without a hitch. They say doors open for general tickets around 6, but I think we went in at around 5:45 and they weren't checking anything. Stopped by the ProShop first to kill some time. If you are thinking of getting something I would suggest going after the game. You can beat the traffic getting out and getting on the T and what not. Ushers were super nice and funny in helping us get to our seats. The B's didn't win, but the experience was well worth it. Being that close to the ice, the puck smashing the glass, the players making big hits right in front of you. Definitely can't wait until I'm lucky enough to come back. read more

Is this even a question to get reviewed? The Bruin's play here... NKOTB played here... Justin fricken Timberlake played here...... P!NK played here!!!!!!!!! The Celtics play here.................. Everything about this place is heaven, aside from Fenway park being more like the heaven dream state of mind and then the Fleet Center... yes I occasionally still slip up and call it Fleet, hey it's alright though.. I still say Great Woods most of the time for Comast Center.. ANYWAYS! Good times here. I've sat in all sections, from the way top Pavilion area where it's just rolly chairs and in the private booths up there with couches.. I may or may not have a picture of me jumping on this said couch..... I've been in the Sportsdeck in front of Kathryn Tappen.. I've eaten the free food and drink there.. cause I didn't pay for that ticket, PSH! I've sat in a luxury box which had a well stocked fridge, non-stop snackage and private bathroom. Balcony, all over all the way down to the glass. Or floor...... for shows and Celtics games. I've taken the elevator and hung out with the old man who remembered me for a while, score. Bathrooms, all public bathrooms are eww, but we hover ladies.. as for the disgusting women out there who a) don't flush b) pee on the seat c) don't flush d) make a mess e) are just plain gross.. eff you! read more

It is rare to get to a jewel like this. Older yes, tradition, yes and so many memories I felt honored to be in the building. I was a lucky one who got tickets for the Bruins Blackhawks game six. The Boston fans definitely love their players and the atmosphere of the arena was unbelievable. (up until the last 1 1/2 min that is) Food was as good as expected, facility looked great for it's age. I hope I can someday come back and watch a Celtic's game here in the future. read more

I've been to the garden for concerts, for hockey, and now skating championships. I've enjoyed them all, though I think the Bruins game was the best in terms of appreciating the place. It's very convenient in terms of location, mass-transit, and even parking, with a nice (though not cheap) arrangement for parking at North Station. The seats are quite comfortable with good views for the ice arena. I wish I could always say the same thing for the concerts and the additional seating. Sometimes your view is blocked though. It's not necessarily the logistics, sometimes it's selfish people in front of you who need to stand all the time (if only the staff could reprimand these folks a bit more often). The facilities are clean and generally well maintained, the signs and markings are quite useful. The staff I've met have always been very friendly and helpful. read more

Horrible place. I spent $1000 for 3 tickets near the glass at a recent Bruins game. I could barely see anything on the ice including each goalpost. I had to watch the above screen to see what was happening. I could have watched this on TV. In addition they charged me $54 to park in a handicapped space in their elite garage. I tried to get my son to park in the street but he refused. I am 100% disabled veteran who served in a war zone. Thanks for nothing! They also had the gaul to "honor" one of my fellow vets. What a joke. Save your false praise. This was the first and last time I'll be going here. read more

In reality, it's difficult for me to review the Garden on account of the fact that A.) I previously lived in NYC and to me, nothing compares to that Garden (just a personal opinion) and B.) I've only been here for Celtics games. We had great seats, the beers aren't too too bad, and it's decently clean. My one complaint comes from the concession stand workers. One in particular. I was in line (and a long one at that) waiting to get my boyfriend and I some Sam Winters. I waited. And Waited. And Waited. Finally, the crowd dwindles and the counter is in sight! When my turn finally arrives, the woman behind the counter informs me that the keg is out and they are replacing it. Would I like a Sam Lager instead? No, I want a Sam Winter. for some reason, she refused to go over to the other tap, which was NOT being used, and pour me my beers from there. She said I could go and wait in that line if I wanted beer from that tap, which was, by the way TWO EPH'N FEET from her tap. So, in conclusion, hope that you never end up waiting in a line where the beer you happen to want is being replaced. read more

TD Garden - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I haven't been since the Garden was the Fleet Center (yes, I know...years ago), and was pleasantly surprised with all of the upgrades! The Garden is easily accessible, large enough so that the lines keep moving, has plenty of stairs, escalators & restrooms so you are not waiting in lines everywhere to get around. Plus, this place is spotless! I mean they must have full time trash picker-uppers (yes that's a word) because this is one of the cleanest arenas of it's size that I have seen. Staff was helpful & friendly and the concessions aren't that outrageously priced. We were lucky enough to have premium seats up in the Lofts for the Bruins game enabling us to experience a full service dining experience. I must say, what a pleasant surprise! Sometimes the meals at places like these are a huge miss...but the Garden is on the money with a menu featuring Filet, Sirloin Burgers, Salads and a wide variety of appetizers. We enjoyed three delicious courses and some tasty cocktails to wash them down. It was so nice to be able to enjoy the game from comfortable seats with a table, great views and excellent service. If you can swing it - I highly suggest the Lofts. Well worth the extra money! I also enjoyed the game experience, the Jumbo Tron is well done (I may be biased because we got on it), the gal singing the National Anthem was great and the pre and in-between game shows & contests were a lot of fun. read more

TD Garden - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I've only ever been to the Garden for Celtics games (though more likely than not when I go, our prized Bostonian team loses..), but I'd say that it's a pretty great place to go for a game! Haven't had the chance to visit to see a concert here, but judging by the advertisements I saw at last night's game, they're booked up until next year. The prices are absolutely ridiculous, which is why I'm glad my family and I ate before we went there. Beer was at $8-$9 a bottle (I can get 2 for the price of one back home), and other concessions were an absolute rip off. Really, you're better off eating before you get there, and then buying one snack, because trying to eat anything with substance there is going to bleed your wallet dry. A convenient part about the Garden is that if you don't want to drive in (and pay $34 for event parking!!), North Station is located directly inside of the Garden, so you can take the commuter rail in and avoid all the traffic leaving. This is great if you don't want to risk getting stuck in Boston traffic as a mass exodus of 15,000 people tries to leave at once. It is also located right next to the Green line, which is located outside. All and all, not too shabby. The Garden is really modern, I love the setup they have, and they've really done nice work with the place. Despite the prices and wanting to sob a little as I hand over my credit card for the most expensive beer in my entire life, I'd still come back because I have too much love the Celtics to watch them on TV. read more

TD Garden - Celtics vs. 76ers; 10-21-2012 - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

They recently renovated, and are still in the process of renovation! But, what can really be said, it is a train station/sports arena, and it is iconic in Boston, and known as the "GAHDEN" Train Station is technically MBCR, but is still nice, well organized, and clean. There are a few nice places to grab a bite down there too. For the "Garden" itself, it can be a little confusing at first, but becomes clear after a few visits. Second floor has security checkpoint (pre-show coming) They check your bags, wand you, and check your ticket. Next levels are the ring around the loge, and higher is the ring around the balcony. Decent variety of food available, but it is very very expensive. Typical station arena stuff... Bathrooms clean, but should be bigger. Lines around women's restroom are massive during breaks, halftimes, intermission, ends, etc. The stadium is relatively nothing special. Clean, decent legroom, good ushers. If you don't know where to go, just follow the crowds. read more

When I bought my ticket to the Bruins/Penguins game last month, I had no idea how shaken and turned upside-down this city would suddenly get due to two despicable men who planted bombs at the Boston Marathon finish line, leading to widespread panic, fear and an intense manhunt for the entire week. However, thanks to impressive and efficient police work, justice soon prevailed and the postponed game was played the next afternoon instead. Debating what to do, I eventually decided to proceed to the city as planned, hoping for the best. Just walking into "The Garden" I could feel a nervous energy and excitement as many Bostonians were taking the first step in recovering from such a tragedy. I found my seat up in the balcony and waited for the game to start. However, before the puck dropped, the announcer introduced the Boston Police color guard, who received thunderous applause and a well-deserved standing ovation. This led into the singing of the National Anthem, which started solo with the main singer and then carried over to the entire crowd, patriotically carrying "The Star Spangled Banner" to the last note. To say it was an emotional and goose-bump inducing few minutes would be a complete understatement, but those type of moments are always hard to accurately put in words. Between repeated, loud chants of "U-S-A", video segments and photos of police officers, FBI agents, EMTs & Military Service members and, of course, 60 minutes of exciting hockey (my Pens won), I can easily say I was proud to be part of such a memorable occasion that far transcended a sporting event. I just pray no city ever has to go through those pre-game, horrible circumstances ever again. Boston Strong! Notes: - Limited parking options around the stadium, so public transportation is the best option for getting to/from a game, especially with Boston North Station right there. - Also limited restroom facilities, at least on the balcony level, so don't hold it too long. read more

TD Garden - Pens vs Bruins - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Not going to lie, this place was kind of a dump while we were here. With that being said, I would preface that we went through the train station while here and not into the actual sport facility so that could be different. I was shocked though by how disgusting and janky their bathrooms were and for the rest of the facility that it couldn't be much better. There is some renovations going on so I don't know if that's some of the cause but it seemed that this level of disorganization didn't happen overnight. read more

TD Gardens seems to be easy to get to from almost anywhere in Downtown Boston just by hopping on the "T" and heading to North Station. We came from Copley Station and it only took about 10-12 minutes tops to get to the North Station....so great! This place is massive!!! I would advise you to research the place online or call in advance for tips if your a first timer to this location! I was thankful to have had a person email me in advance to let me know will call was on the first floor by a Dunkin Donuts...although there are a few of those on this level so it could still be a bit confusing, but there are guards everywhere that don't mind us non-locals asking for a little directional assistance :) Waiting for entry in a "line" to go upstairs can feel a bit insane, and you may wonder how crazy it's going to be when people start rushing upstairs to get in...but even with the big mob around you, everyone seems pretty chill and respectful for the most part as you make your way upstairs to get in multiple lines to have your bags checked. The process doesn't take as long as you would expect with that high volume of people since the workers are for the most part super efficient at what they do! For those of you who want to be earlier prepare yourself for the crowd! But if you don't mind just being on time, you'll skip the crazy crowd that wants to be there early. We came for a Celtics game and had a blast!!!! Great views from almost any seat, so I wouldn't worry too much about where your seat is located....they all seem to be great in how it's setup! I will post a pic from our seat so you can see what the view looks like from a seat that's a bit higher up. Seems to be a huge food selection. We just got some Pop in a Commemorative Celtics cup and large Popcorn prior to sitting down and spent about 12 dollars I think...both were fine enough. But the crowd in front of me seemed to like food more then watching the game itself and left frequently for more food then I ever realized were possibly offered at one location....like gelato, wraps, salads, pizza, your basics of hotdogs and burgers and so much more....man I guess I sound like a food stalker but couldn't help but notice since they blocked our view throughout the game due to how often they got up to get food! Lol! However, nothing could ruin this experience, and loved the setup, the game, and the hilarious Jumbo TV's where the film crew periodically videoed the audience searching for all those great crazy fans who are willing to entertain the rest of us with their dance moves or lack there of with the most outrageous celtics outfits you've ever seen in your life...hoping to be picked for "fan of the night". It was almost as good as the game...but theres just no competing with the professionals ya know :) what a great night that I will remember forever! read more

Amazing facility for events. Located in North Boston this could not be a better home to the Bruins and Celtics! Every time we come to a game or event we are never disappointed. To start, the parking below TD Garden, typically $34, is worth it in my opinion. The parking garage has plenty of parking spots and is very clean and well secure. I have used this parking garage many times and will continue to use it for all the events. Once you get into the facility, the staff around are very helpful and its extremely clean. One of the most important aspects, to my fiancee, of the facility is the cleanliness of the bathrooms. As always, concessions are insanely expensive, as are all sports facilities. I will forever be a fan of TD Garden! read more

A huge arena that can take the massive crowds. I can deal with the staff and their hard nosed security. The tickets for all events are usually outrageous, thus limiting my visits to once a year or less. The concessions are terrible. They have overpriced and gross unhealthy food choices. Drinks are also over priced so pack a flask or drink at a bar before you enter. I wish Boston had another good smaller arena to bring in big name concerts or smaller names that is not so pretentious as the Garden., read more

I've been to this place many many many many times being a huge Bruins fan. I love it, it's awesome. Not too big, not too small. Been to Celtics games too. I've sat everywhere in here, (except for court side) from the loges and the balconies and I can tell you that I adore this place. It's great. The only downside to it is their alcohol policies that have changed. Before I had a Massachusetts ID, they turned down my passport just about every single time I tried to get booze despite the fact that I was clearly over 21 years old. That pissed me off, I am still bitter. Also, on certain games now, they only let you have 1 beer per ID which I think is annoying as hell as you don't want to have to get up again and go get another beer. I miss having two of them in my hands at once. What bullshit. read more

Awesome stadium to watch a basketball game! Got in and out of the stadium quickly. Beautiful, clean, awesome. Great experience for the whole family. Pretty much every seat in the house is great, I've sat close up and in the highest balcony seat and always have a good view of the action. Of course the concessions are ridiculously priced, but there are plenty of amazing restaurants around to pregame at! read more

TD Garden - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

The Boston Celtics and the Boston Bruins play here. What else do you want? I'll just get the obvious stuff out of the way. Yes, everything is expensive, and yes, parking is a pain. That's nothing different from any other arena. The best way to get to the Garden is by train. One step of off it, and then you're practically right in the lobby. Once you're seated, it will be hard to not enjoy your experience. I've watched two Celtics games here, and following along with the action has never been an issue. When I was here for a U2 concert, the first row balcony seats were guaranteed tremendous, to say the least. I've never walked out of the TD Garden hypnotized, and there are definitely better stadiums out there. Nonetheless, sports and concerts still make for a solid experience. read more

TD Garden - U2 Concert, pre-show. What followed was a great performance by four Irish rock stars. - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

A went for the Spurs vs Celtics game. I got great seats through Ticketmaster; very easy and stress free. The only sad thing is that they got rid of the Captain Morgan rum runners! There are no longer any frozen drinks in the whole venue. If you want an alcoholic drink you have to buy beer or hard liquor over ice. There is a beer stand every 5 feet. I was very disappointed, I just ended up getting a coke. There's not even a place to get a mixed cocktail. The whole places is maze , your could walk in circles for hours trying to find the right food / beverage stand that you want. The food is average. The line for the bathrooms are ridiculous. Try to go while the show/game is going on so that you don't wait till the mission or halftime. Parking can be terrible. But if you get there early and / or don't mind parking a few blocks away you'll be fine. It's a total rip off to pay for parking passes. And don't take the MBTA because it gets completely packed. You can't move and there are people who are not from Boston looking all around and acting like chickens with their heads cut off. Its aggravating and very slow especially at North Station. Drive if you can. read more

TD Garden - Spurs won! Go Spurs! - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

One of the best ways to end my trip in Boston. Floor seats during the Celtics vs. Bulls game and we WON. Everyone was going crazy and it was one of the best feelings ever. Plus being drunk during the game was rad. I love you TD Garden... Until next time. read more

TD Garden - floor seats baby!! - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Attended the U2 concert last night. It's nice that this arena is within walking distance of all the Italian restaurants on the north side, and also right outside the arena were a couple of chain food places. Not sure if we entered on the back side, but we had to climb a helluva a lot of stairs to get to the floor where are seats were. After all the coughing and wheezing, we took a few minutes to catch our breath, and then found our seats. They are ok for average size people, but if you're tall like my husband, your knees will be shoved up under your chin or become the headrest of the person directly in front of you. Concourses are wide enough to handle the crowds, but oddly not all the concession stands were open. Also odd, the bartender asked to see my ID before serving me. What? He was an elderly gentleman so maybe his eyesight was not so good. Anyway, I enjoyed the concert except for the two loud idiots that sat behind us and loudly chatted like two sorority girls over the music. About 3/4 through the show, my husband couldn't tolerate it anymore and left his seat. I stayed but was very irritated when one of them began yelling F you to Bono when he began to speak about human rights, empowerment of women, etc. I gave him a look, but of course, there were no ushers around . . . read more

TD Garden - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

Great venue for concerts too! Easy to navigate inside.

We love coming to the TD Garden for Celtics games. Although there is not much leg room, the seats are relatively comfortable. From the floor seats to the ones "up near god" you will always have great views whether with your own eyes or watching the Jumbo Tron that spans the center of the arena. Sometimes its more fun watching the other attendees then what is transpiring (or not) on the court. From lot parking to more secure parking garage under the TD Garden there are a variety of parking options around the TD Garden. We have tried both options and for the security and ease of parking ,we usually opt for the garage. There is a flat fee for parking during events (concerts, etc) so I would suggest paying when you arrive to save yourself some hassle and time fighting your way to get to a self pay machine before you leave. I do suggest eating prior to arriving as the TD Garden sells your standard arena food - expensive and not really good. I was impressed that in addition to Sam Adams (duh!) they also sell several other of varieties as well as wine and liquor. read more

With a sports town as legendary as Boston, the expectation going in to the TD Garden was already through the roof. Thrown in a preseason Boston Bruins home game: you have the makings of a wicked-good time, my friends. We pre-gamed at The Fours before the game to get us in the mood, which is right around the corner from the stadium. A five minute walk across the street and we were headed into the TD Garden. Access to this stadium is awesome, not many lines, it moves really smoothly. The facility is very clean and is also very well marked for seating sections and restrooms. Once on your respective section level, you will find plenty of options for great beverages - checkout the Sam Adams craft beer stand, you'll find the standard Boston Lager and Red Brick Ale, as well as most of the seasonal offers from Sam's. Best of all, the prices aren't as bad as you would think, especially for great craft beer. There are also plenty of Bruins or Celtics pro-shops around the whole stadium to pick up any merchandise you want to take home from the game. The seats are good, plenty comfortable. Again, getting to and from your seat is very easy since the place is marked so well, and there are also plenty of restrooms so you'll never have to go too far if you have one too many Boston Lagers. Whatever you're there to see, be sure to take in the awesome array of Celtic and Bruins banners hanging from the rafters. Many of these were hanging in the original Boston Garden, many more will be hung in the this Garden for years to come. Go Boston! read more

I waited till today to write this review so that I could collect my thoughts. First off: 3 stars represents an average. The venue itself--sound, visuals, cleanliness, temperature regulation (not too hot)--deserves an enthusiastic 5 stars. I've never been in a stadium or venue of this size so nice. I prefer it to MSG. The problem: JACKBOOTED thuggish employees. This place makes TSA on a bad day look like a puppy and kitten cafe with mushy sweet employees that hug you and serve lattes and macarons. I have never, in a life of theater and concerts, ever encountered such rude, humorless, self-important, obnoxious employees. And it's not even about gender. The chicks are as bad as the dudes. It turns out that the issues I encountered might have been avoided by 1) taking an earlier train and 2) reading the fine print. Amtrak was Amtrak and we had no time to dump our bags at the hotel before Comics Come Home, for which we came up from NYC. NO electronic devices are allowed--from iPad to Kindle to vapes. A security guy said to drop our stuff at a bar called Harp and give them 5 or 10 bucks to watch out stuff. Huh? Just leave my Macbook Pro in some random bar in a foreign city. (And yes, Boston is more foreign than some foreign cities, to a New Yorker.) So I went up to a reasonable-looking security person who didn't look angry at the world and asked, "If you had something you gave a s*** about, would you leave it at Harp or Tavern [the other suggestion]?" Smug young man responded: "I'd leave it at home." Oh thanks, that's really helpful, jerk***; I so appreciate this insightful reply after I explained we were on a train five hours to get to this venue/show. As I made my way to Tavern or Harp, I found the sweetest lady ever, who worked for the security company. I asked her if she trusted those bars with important belongings and she said absolutely not. She offered to take my bag and I went back to go through security. That's when they said the vape wasn't allowed. Would it really have been too much to include that in the spiel re prohibited items? You can take a vape into Yankee Stadium, though you're not allowed to use it. I've never had a vape nearly confiscated. You can take them on airplanes, FTLOG. Absolute insanity. So do yourself a favor: leave anything that requires a charger at home. If you're traveling for a game or a show, get to your hotel or friend's house early so you don't have to go through the nightmare I did. Of course then I forgot the vape was in my friend's duffel and my phone was by that time dead. I traipsed back to security before getting lost in an Uber (because apparently Boston's reception is roughly that of the Rainforest---or Litchfield County, to be less hyperbolic, where kids of friends didn't want to attend boarding school due to cell phone dead zone). Really sweet young drunk kids called me an Uber when I couldn't get a cab. Boston cabs are a nightmare. Sweet girl, 25, said she hadn't taken one since with her parents "in third grade." Alas, the charming drunk polyglot (he spoke four languages fluently and hates New York but said I was nice) heard Charles Street, not Charles River St. My Uber driver's app wasn't working. We couldn't even pull up a map on his Droid. We finally went into a condo complex and an ANGEL looked up my hotel and tried to help him get his phone /app in working order. Driver was sweet but slightly off (and it wasn't a language barrier). 2.5 HOURS after the concert wrapped up, I stumbled into the hotel. 1:35 AM. By the time I charged phone at the luxury condos, I learned that the vape was in my friend's duffel. I was so flustered that when I returned to the security vehicle to offload the vape, I just tossed it in her bag, rather than my own. The only nice employees in the entire building work at the bar. Good guys all. The beer is *outrageously* priced. Go with hard liquor. Generous pour of Bulleit (they have rye and bourbon both) for 12.50. read more

It's your typical large sporting stadium with tons of seats with a wide range a views. It's hard to go wrong anywhere in the stands. They have made tons of improvements to the space with and updated look and feel. The food has also gotten a lot better! I'm a huge fan of their fries which are thick cut. The staff is helpful and friendly when you're trying to find your seat. They're also a great resource if you get lost. Keep in mind that you will need to go through a metal detector to get in so bring a smaller bag to get through quickly. read more

Not a bad arena at all Just make sure you are attending event by either Uber or by train The station is right there. There's street parking if ya wanna walk a ways out and search but event parking itself is $50 Attended Celtics Cavalier 7th game. I'm here now. It's cool They let me in, it's clean, attendees and the staff are nice Lots of Boston Policia!!!! Defense!!! Hearing them go crazy. All these screaming maniacs in my ear I want a Churro, and pizza, and a pretzel but my feet hurt. Every time I get up there's a maniac screaming like I'm in the way . I hate sports I am getting hot flashes. I need another beer. Ugh read more

AN ABSOLUTELY MUST DO! Elton John's Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour was Sold Out @ TD Garden in Boston in November 2019. What an Incredible Concert that was all about The Music & Nothing else. Elton performed non stop hit after hit after hit. He even threw in a few lesser known tracks too. It was Great to hear Bennie & the Jets, Rocket Man, Daniel, Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me, Someone Saved My Life, Crocodile Rock, Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting, Border Song, Your Song, I'm Still Standing, Candle in the Wind, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road & many others. Everybody had A Fun filled night singing along to all the tunes. Elton thanked everyone for sticking with him all these years & buying the cassettes, 45s & albums etc. Elton is doing a World Wide Final Farewell Tour, if you have a chance to see him don't miss out on this legendary performer. It used to be, you had to have Mega Bucks & be really rich to have The Good Life, not anymore. The Game has changed. You've Been Upgraded. Now You Can Live Like A King On A Limited Budget! read more

Been here on a few occasions, most recently for some Bruins games. Parking at the garage at North Station is super convenient. Not cheap by traditional parking standards, but worth it for the sake on proximity. You can literally ride the elevator up from the parking garage and you're right at North Station, an escalator ride away from whatever event you are attending at TD Garden. There's some really great food options at TD Garden, but the good stuff is location on the lower level. If you're sitting in the balcony, you have less unique food choices. On the lower level there's everything from burgers to gourmet sandwiches, and even loaded potato chips (think nachos). The food and drinks overall are crazy overpriced, but that is expected. Overall, this is a really great arena to see your favorite sports team play or attend a concert. It's HUGE, but even in the nosebleeds you still have a great view. read more

I'm glad that the added "Garden" back to the name. It will always be known as "The Garden" to me, or "Boston Garden". Not Fleet Center...or TD BankNorth....uh uh. I've been coming here since I was a kid. To see the circus most likely. Food offerings aren't bad, but it can get wicked expensive. Getting upgraded to club seats is kinda nice as the balcony seats are cold and uncomfortable. Service is always good. Clearing security is always fun too. The last time I was here was to see the Dalai Lama on 11/1. It was a great experience except for the crazy protesters outside the entrance to the Garden. Not bad. read more

Ok so the Beyonce concert experience was 1 star because of SHOTS, but the Celtics game was great. We were seated in Loge 5 and had a great view of the court. What was even better were the after game access passes that we got. This allowed us to go behind the scenes and see the players on their way out. No we aren't groupies, but if we get access passes, then we will use them! Overall we had a great night. Can't wait to do it again. read more

There ain't a bad seat in the house when you go to a Bruins or Celtics game at the TD Garden!!! Even the balcony seats have a great birdseye view of the games. I like to take the train into the city and it drops you right off at the Garden which is very convenient. The biggest downside is the beers are crazy expensive here but then again aren't they that way at every sporting event these days? The concessions are really good here and they have lots of different types of foods. The wait in line usually isn't very bad either. read more

I love coming to the TD Garden especially for Bruins games. I have only been here for sporting events but the crowd and the atmosphere is what makes this place worth visiting. The TD Garden is conveniently located adjacent to the North Station T as well as the commuter rails and the Nor'Easter train that can take you all the way up to Portland, ME. Don't forget to visit the Bruins and Celtics pro shop on the 2nd level. read more

We are here in the Boston Society Club waiting for the Eagles concert to start and they have 2 bartenders trying to handle a crowded room. People are actually arguing over who should be served next. Our bartender welcomed us, informed us of the QR code and basically walked away and had to be flagged down to take our order. Poor planning on the part of management. We pay extra for club level because service is normally excellent. Food was taking k over 30 minutes and we had to ask 3 times where it was. Kitchen was not busy as we can see the cooks. 3 different people checked on our order yet not a one came back to give us a status. After 45 minutes and asking 1 late time, we got piping hot delicious food. I'm 2 drinks in and need to eat!!!! Other staff available were wonderful, helpful and smiling behind their masks. Hire more of those people. read more

I sang here one time at the Beanpot. It was sweet cause they gave us backstage passes, or whatever you call 'em at a stadium, and we got to sneak around and get kinda lost and get eyeballed by security men. We also got to dodge those pesky ushers to watch the game. Good times. Definitely a great place to watch hockey. I also saw the Ben Folds/John Mayer concert this past summer. It was okay. Too many screaming girls and not enough love for Ben. The seats were fine, the food is so-so. I always hope if you keep walking around enough times, a new variety will appear and sometimes it does. read more

TD Garden - Up close and personal. - Stadiums & Arenas Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

My roommate kept getting free tickets from his job for Celtics games, so naturally I said 'yes' to every game! The TD Garden is incredibly easy to get to via the T, even when the train can be packed with fans of whatever team or artist is playing that night. The staff is organized and efficient at getting you through the doors and to your seat smoothly. With the immense crowds that can be here on any given day, one better hope that they have it together! Their food and drink options are extensive but pricey; that's to be expected at a venue like this, though. There are a ton of places in the area to grab some food or drinks before and after your event, so don't feel obligated to buy anything at the Garden. read more

Had my first experience at TD Garden when my Bulls came to play the Celtics. Being someone with an out of state license living in Boston, I usually carry my passport anyway, but I had a friend in town and wanted to clear up this ID controversy I read so much about in the rules. It's really not that complicated. The only way you're S.O.L. is if you have an out of state license and you're under 25 years old. Boston is a college town, so this makes sense. Anyway... I had a great time at the Gahden. The location makes it easy to get to whether you're driving, taking a taxi, or the T. Inside, the layout is typical of any modern stadum. We were sitting in LOGE 5 (floor seats angled behind the baseline) and my only issue is the seats were not clearly labeled at all. I could infer which seats were ours, but when we arrived and there were other people in our seats rudely insisting they were their seats, I had to get an usher to step in because I couldn't easily point to the chair and say "See, this is seat #2." There were probably a lot of people sitting in the wrong seats. The way the stadium is set up around the court, it seems there isn't a bad seat in the house (unless you're directly behind the rim but that sucks anywhere) so it all works out. As far as food and beer goes, yes, you are paying stadium prices, it's the cost of attending a live game. Loved that they had Goose Island 312 on tap (my hometown beer!), and I was able to get a pretty solid lobster roll for about $15.99, which is standard around these parts anyway. read more

TD Garden isn't bad. Its not as new as the Barclays Center, but not as old as MSG. The seats are comfortable enough. There are many entrances, so make sure you go through the correct entrance depending on which section you are sitting at. The price of concessions is rather pricey, expect to pay $13 for a beer. Tips for people from NYC: the trains do not run 24/7 in Boston, they stop running at about 1ish AM. Every website talks about going to TD garden, but doesn't talk about leaving from TD Garden. If a sports event/ concert ends really late, the trains may not be running, so you can Uber. There is always a lot of traffic after the concerts so I would suggest grabbing a slice of pizza nearby and waiting for the crowd/ traffic to die down. Alternatively, you can walk a blocks and try to get an Uber on a less congested street. Tips for ladies: After the concert, most people take the stairs to get out of the stadium. There are quite a few flights of stairs so I would suggest wearing comfy shoes. I saw a lady wearing 4 inch heels, and grabbing on to the handrail as she slowly made her way down the stairs. Also, do not bring a big bag. read more

Love coming here for bruins games, Celtics, this past weekend I came here for the US Gymnastic Championships. I had never watched anything like it before, it was a cool experience since I don't get to see it except at the Olympics on tv. Our seats this time even got upgraded to Premium. Which if you've never been on that level it has some really cool sports memorabilia all over it. I enjoyed all the Bruins photos the most and the sports museum section with the timeline on the wall about women's impact in sport. Definitely worth checking out. read more
