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.

How the venue is set up
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.

Seats to avoid & obstructed views
Balcony directly behind an end stage (concerts): Frequently curtained off or left with a heavily side-on, obstructed view.
Front-row Loge behind the basket (basketball): The low angle makes the far end of the court hard to judge.
Back rows of the Balcony corners (330s): Very high and steep, a long way from the play.
Seats beside lower-bowl camera and TV platforms: Occasional partial obstruction from broadcast equipment.
Accessibility & companion seating
TD Garden provides wheelchair-accessible and companion seating on every level, with elevator access directly from the North Station concourse. Accessible tickets are booked through the Garden box office or Ticketmaster's accessible seating tool, and staff assist with entry from North Station.
Where: Distributed across Loge, Club and Balcony levels, including raised platform positions with sightlines over standing crowds.

Getting there
Transport
The arena is built over North Station, served by the MBTA Orange and Green Lines plus commuter rail, so you can arrive under cover without stepping outside. It is a short walk from the North End and Faneuil Hall; on-site parking is limited and expensive, so transit or rideshare is strongly preferred.
The area
The Garden anchors the West End beside the Bulfinch Triangle, minutes from the North End's Italian restaurants, Faneuil Hall Marketplace and the Freedom Trail. The adjoining Hub on Causeway development adds bars, restaurants and a beer hall right at the door.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Loge and Balcony at TD Garden?
Loge is the lower bowl closest to the floor or ice, while the Balcony is the upper ring. Loge costs more and sits nearer the action; the Balcony is cheaper, steeper and higher but keeps full views of the whole surface.
Where are the best seats for a Celtics game?
For premium views, center-court Loge (sections 1-2, 15-16) is ideal. For value with a full-court view and great atmosphere, center Balcony (315-318) is hard to beat.
Is TD Garden capacity different for hockey and basketball?
Yes. It seats about 19,156 for Celtics basketball and roughly 17,565 for Bruins hockey, since the ice configuration reduces the number of usable lower-bowl seats.
How do I get to TD Garden on public transport?
The arena sits directly above North Station, reached by the MBTA Orange and Green Lines and commuter rail, so you can walk straight up into the building without going outside.
Are there obstructed-view seats at TD Garden?
For concerts, upper Balcony sections behind an end stage can be curtained or obstructed. For sports, sightlines are generally clean, though a few lower-bowl seats sit near camera platforms.
What was TD Garden called before?
It opened in 1995 as the FleetCenter, later became TD Banknorth Garden, and has been TD Garden since 2009. It replaced the original Boston Garden next door.
