Love getting to catch a game at the garden... at least I used to. To try add seating they sacrificed the quality of the seats. I don't mean in materials but in actual design. It's as if they looked at a bunch of seats online and ordered them and never tried them out before installing almost 20,000 of them. What they should have down was ordered 100, put them in and have a variety of people big to short, fat to slim and every combination and see if they worked for the majority of the people, instead of ordering them all and going oops we messed up, I'm sure these aren't cheap to buy either. So if you're going to a cheap game buy and extra seat so you can put your jackets, food, souvenirs, etc... because there is no place on, below or in front of your seat to put anything.

I had a good time (my Flyers beat the Bruins). But the seats were pretty narrow (the larger people in our group were uncomfortable) and the sound system was unintelligible on the upper bowl. I understand that it sounds much better on the first level.

We enjoyed a lot our first NBA game! The place is well organized and entering and exiting is very easy. The prices inside are very high (18 usd for a bear, 10 for a slice of pizza, 8 for a coke!!)

First time here to watch Kevin Hart. We didn't have to wait long to get in. Lines moved quick. Concessions are just as expensive as any other arena. Sounds d quality of the show was awesome and could see pretty well. Nice place to see a concert as well I'm sure

Great time at the Garden as always. Bruins played the Whalers and won in OT! Great venue with plenty of good food and drink options. Ranges from hot dogs to pretty involved meal plates. Get a can of beer or a decent cocktail. Pro shop on the loge level and various small shops on each subsequent floor. Tunnel from the T station to the arena is now complete so you don't even have to go outdoors when it's cold!

I've been here for Bruins games, concerts, and many other events. The facility is perfect for all of these. Additionally, it has parking on-site, which is a plus in Boston! You can also get here via the T if that is more your speed.

Great sports bars nearby!

The prices for alcohol are absolutely out of control. Paying 30$ for a couple drinks is outrageous. Its almost like they dont want average people coming to their games. Anyone who thinks that is not a absolute gouging has far more money than since. Ticket prices are also out of control. I remember when middle class people could afford to visit Boston and go to a games eat and have a good time. Now you need to mortgage your house for the tickets and sell a kidney to grab a few drinks. I guess from now on I'll watch from my couch. As a disabled veteran I can no longer afford to watch the team I love.

The staff at the Garden is always so friendly and helpful. We were given premium tickets to the Cross Insurance Boardroom and wow! It was great! The food there was spectacular. I eat plant based so I was a little worried but in the premium seats it was not a problem. They had so many super delicious veggie dishes! I wish I could eat so well every day! The view was great and the staff there was excellent. Plus the Bruins won :) I bet those tickets are pricey but they certainly treat you well!

I recently purchased some great deats for a holiday present for my family, it was so frustrating to find our actual seats as they were not numbered. Please number floor seats to minimize the confusion!

Having lived in New England for a good portion of my life, you'd figure that I would've gone to the Garden a few times. Honestly, I'm glad I haven't. Saw Radiohead there (and I've seen Radiohead numerous times so I should know what they sound like live) and the sound was utterly atrocious. I'm not sure if the blame should be placed on the venue or the travelling engineers, but man, this was the worst I've ever heard them sound.

On the bright side, it is pretty easy to get in and out of the place, even after such a big show, so they are organized enough.

I wouldn't mind seeing another band in this venue if it were the only place they were playing, but if I had a choice, I wouldn't come back here.

Worst fan experience ever at the garden. Food made me really sick, beers over priced, rude staff, was inappropriately patted down and then had a racially slur said about me behind my back by the security staff upon entrance, which was all now predominantly one race, wow! I will never be back to this venue! Doesn t matter how much I love the Celtics and Bruins, I d rather see an away game in a different city then ever go through that again! I was treated like cattle in this venue. Until there are serious changes here, it s a better time to sit on your couch in the comfort of your own home.

The garden is a great place to go to watch your favorite Celtics and bruins games. Every time I've gone is always been a great venue, only bad times I had is if we had a crushing loss. The drinks are going to be more expensive then bars outside, but it's all part of the experience and I accept it. only been here for sporting events, never been for a concert. But never a dull time.

Absolutely, epically extraordinary first experience at this Garden, in the classically historical intellectual city of Boston.

However, my major reason, for such an exceptionally high appreciation, of this Garden. Aside from the fact, of seeing the world's most extraordinarily awesome basketball team, "Thee Harlem Globetrotters".

Who, by the way, I have dreamed of seeing, since I was a small boy. And as a matter, returned myself to (and many other adults) to our exuberance of youth, with their astronomically

Overall a great arena for NHL games (didn't see an NBA game) with all the seats seeming to provide a good view. Lots of restaurants with average prices and food.
4 stars as the sound system doesn't reach the upper balcony seats clearly so you have to guess what they're saying, and there's no vendors selling food or drink up and down the aisles which is normal in every other arena and stadium I've been to.

Been to a few arenas in the US and Canada. This one is one of the best for watching a sporting event. Getting in and out, something I consider was not burdensome. Oh yeah, and the Bruins were nice to see also, too bad they lost.

Overpriced beer, but what are you gonna do? With all the new construction and venues, it has become a destination area even aside for just sports/concerts. Aside from that, it's nice enough and is convenient to get to with transit stops directly underneath the venue.

Had such a great time watching the Celtics play the Nets. The venue, game and entertainment were outstanding. Only complaint and reason for my lower than 5 rating is that as a tourist who is attending a game for the first time, we were initially refused entry for carrying a compact camera. We had to rush back to our hotel at some cost. This was made infinitely more annoying when setting several other people at the game with cameras!

I used to love coming to the garden- it was easy to get in and out of with the Commuter Rail and I always had a great time whether it was for a game or a concert. But the seat upgrade they completed over the summer is a slap in the face to fans. They want to sell them as a modern plush upgrade from the old iconic gold seats, but let s call this what it is- squeezing more seats into the venue to make more money. The new black seats are now smaller with armrests that dig into your sides. If you re tall, your knees will be in the head of the people in front of you. Went to a concert over the summer which was basically ruined by how uncomfortable we all were. Someone in the row in front of us had to sit in the stairwell. Don t bother shelling out big money for a ticket to anything at this venue, you ll regret it.

Had an awesome experience seeing the justin timberlake concert there.. We got the tickets using VerizonUP and the VIP staff, seating and setup was perfect. Easy to get around, in and out of, and I can't speak for every seat but it honestly looks like there isn't a bad seat in the house.

I would recommend seeing sport events, concerts or really anything in this venue. It was our first time in Boston and it was awesome..Td gardens did not disappoint us.

This place is a blast! It was a bit confusing to get around, but it was clean and their employees were super helpful. My favorite thing about TD is their gorgeous court - that finish is spectacular!

Its outdated and cramped. Gets the job done, but unless you re in the club section, the seats are narrow, hard, have very limited leg room, and the greatest crime: no cup holders. Thats just unacceptable for any arena in 2019. They do get good acts, and i have no complaints about operations or staff.

Boy will I miss going to see games at the Garden. Forget the New York snobs with their MSG. The Garden has and always will reside in Boston. Whether you are catching the Celtics, Bruins or a concert the Garden's updated and modern facility will meet your needs. That said prepare yourself for arena food prices. The regulars know to take advantage of the more palpable deals of the bars outside. Regardless be ready for a great night when you attend an event at the Garden.

I was in the balcony for the Arctic Monkeys concert and I had a really good seat! It's a comfortable place with a nice view. The stadium has big restrooms and a lot of places to eat something.

The renovation was fantastic, but make sure to emphasize what size you exactly want when ordering food. The sizes are all messed up. There are three sizes of soda, souvenir, large and medium. I said I want a medium coke but they assumed you want the large one.

The show was great and the sound was amazing but WOW those new seats are terrible. I don't know who was in the room during the designing process, sat in one of them, and said, "My sudden scoliosis not withstanding I think these new chairs will be great!"

The staff was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and proactive. The venue was great, lots of options for food/drinks and the view to the stage was pretty decent despite being so far away. One of my major complaints and primary reason for only 3 stars is the seats. Not only are the seats extremely small and tight, rows and seats are so narrow that it was uncomfortable and distracted from the overall enjoyment of the experience. It also made things awkward for people sitting in the middle of a row who needed to get up, out, and back in. There is simply no room. Considering the major renovations that were made, it is extremely disappointing that seat comfort was not taken into more consideration. I would definitely see another show or go to a game here if the seats were not so uncomfortable.

Home to one of the best sports team in the world in the Celtics and Bruins (Totally not written by a biased Celtics fan). TD Garden is right on the North Station Commuter Rail / Orange line, still under some new renovation as they are building some office space in the area. Holds many events such as concerts, and other sporting events!

I could complain about the price of food and beer, but I think we are all smart enough to understand that's just the social norm when going to any event. Otherwise, this place is fantastic, Bruins are the best, and the Amtrak goes straight in an out, never had to go out in the cold!

I absolutely love going to games at the TD garden! The arena itself is comfortable, with good sight lines. I would strongly encourage taking public transport to any game/event, as the parking situation can be very frustrating, as one would expect in Boston.
