Overview

About TD Garden

TD Garden holds about 19,156 for Celtics basketball and roughly 17,565 for Bruins hockey, wrapped in a steep three-tier bowl of Loge (lower), Club (middle) and Balcony (upper). The compact footprint and low ceiling make it one of the loudest buildings in the NBA and NHL, keeping sightlines close to the action even high up. Loge along the sides gives the best all-round views, while the Balcony offers affordable if steep seats. It hosts the Celtics and Bruins plus concerts, family shows and college hockey's Beanpot tournament.

TD Garden sits directly atop North Station in Boston's West End, a compact multi-tier bowl that opened in 1995 to replace the beloved old Boston Garden. The steep decks and low roof trap the noise, while the Celtics' championship banners and the Bruins' retired numbers hang from the rafters above the parquet.

Capacity & layout

What is the TD Garden seating capacity?

The TD Garden seating capacity is about 19,156 seats. The number in use changes with the layout, so here is how each set-up works.

Basketball

Celtics games use the parquet floor with premium courtside and floor seats ringing the hardwood; behind-basket Loge and Balcony ends are the cheaper options.

Ice hockey

Bruins games drop capacity to about 17,565 as the ice sheet pushes the lower bowl back slightly; glass-level and corner seats are especially prized.

End-stage concert

Concerts place the stage at one end and typically curtain off the far Balcony; the floor becomes GA or seated rows while side Loge retains strong views.

In-the-round concert

A center stage is used for select tours, opening up 360-degree seating and lifting capacity, though seats directly behind the stage face away from the main video screens.
