The schedule above shows that TD Garden hosts many events throughout the year. The Boston Celtics of the NBA and the NHLs Boston Bruins call the stadium home, but TD Garden has also hosted artists like AC/DC, Prince, and even Luciano Pavarotti down the years.
TD Garden was a long time overdue. Though the original Boston Garden was an iconic venue, it opened way back in the 1920s, and by the late 1970s, it was already showing its age. The Boston Bruins were the driving force behind a new arena, almost moving to Salem, New Hampshire, at one stage as potential development sites in Boston kept falling through.
Eventually, a site and funding for a new stadium were found. The arena that would become TD Garden began construction in 1993 and opened in 1995 with performances from the Boston Pops, James Taylor, and Disney on Ice. The FleetCenter operated for 10 years before naming rights changed hands.
This was the beginning of a fun period. To make money for charity while a new naming rights sponsor was found, a series of auctions were held on eBay to give people the rights to name the venue for a day. This is why TD Garden has had 33 different names, and it is also why it was almost called the 'Derek Jeter Center' for a day until that bid was rejected because Jeter is a New York Yankees legend.
TD Garden has hosted three NBA Finals series, three NHL Finals series, boxing matches, MMA events, and many other sporting contests. It is also a major player on the Boston concert scene, and in 2023 the likes of Drake, Madonna, Sam Smith, and Queen & Adam Lambert will be among many bands/artists taking the stage.

Is it possible to buy cheap TD Garden tickets?
It all depends on the event at TD Garden. The Celtics' recent Game 7 game against the Miami Heat was the most expensive ticket in NBA history outside of NBA Finals games.
Games like that are impossible to find cheap tickets to. If you are trying to make your money go its furthest, look for matches against out-of-conference opponents on weeknights. If the opponent is not a good team, that is even better. Sometimes those tickets will come on the market late - and cheaper - so be sure to always check Immortal Seats after deciding to go to a game.
Gillette Stadium FAQs?
Parking details vary per event. The most convenient parking spot is in the North Stadium Garage, directly under TD Garden. The catch is that it has a flat event rate fee of $60. Other parking options are available nearby, but as this is a downtown location, you should book parking before you go to the Garden with your Immortal Seats ticket in hand!
