About TD Garden
TD Garden is located on Legends Way in Boston, conveniently on top of MBTA’s North Station. Also known as Boston Garden or simply The Garden, it opened in September 1995 as the Fleet Center. TD Garden is home to the Boston Celtics basketball team as well as the Boston Bruins hockey team. It also hosts a number of other sporting events, concerts, comedy shows, and conventions year round.
Fun fact: In 2004, then-Senator Barack Obama gave the keynote address at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) at TD Center, which brought him to the national spotlight and began speculation about his potential 2008 presidential run.

This timeline directly overlaps with that of the NHL season and thus the home game schedule of the Boston Bruins. Furthermore, top-tier artists including Maroon 5, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Ariana Grande have played shows at TD Garden within the past few years.
