Explore All Things Boston Sports!

Considering the horrors that struck Boston less than one month ago, Boston could use a sports related morale boost. If you find yourself heading to the Boston area, the Bruins made a place for themselves in the playoffs of the NHL respectively. Catch a playoff game at TD Garden in support of Boston. Can’t make a game?  Take a tour.

TD Garden, one of the top arenas in the country, opened in 1995 and has already hosted more than 30 million visitors. In addition to hosting world class sporting, concert, and other events, TD Gardens is also the home of The Sports Museum, located on the 5th and 6th level.
