Boston Bruins
TD Garden sits above North Station so you literally walk off the commuter rail into the building. Bobby Orr's statue greets you outside. Causeway Street handles the rest.
Upcoming Events
TD Garden runs about 17,850 for hockey and the atmosphere on a playoff night is genuinely loud in a way that gets into your chest. The Bruins - Canadiens rivalry is one of the oldest in professional sports and when Montreal comes to town the building takes on a different energy. Sullivan's Tap on Canal Street has been the pregame spot for decades and it earns the reputation. The Fours on Canal is worth a stop too if you want something to eat before the puck drops.
The Original Six legacy matters here in a way that goes beyond nostalgia. The Bruins have been playing at this address since 1928 in one form or another, and the fan base carries that history with them. Black and gold gear fills the lower bowl on any game night worth attending. Bobby Orr's number 4 banner hangs from the rafters alongside Phil Esposito, Ray Bourque, and a list of names that covers the history of the sport.
Getting there is genuinely easy. North Station below the Garden is served by the Green and Orange MBTA lines and commuter rail from the suburbs, so driving is the wrong call. Factor in extra time on weekend nights when Causeway Street gets congested before puck drop.
The Bruins calendar runs from October through April, with playoff games adding dates into June in good years. Check what's on the schedule and find your seats through Evil Tickets before anything good sells out.
