Boston, a Great Sports Town, Scores with Fans
City of Champions
Boston is a city of winning teams. Each bringing home trophies in their respected sport. Passion for the teams helps Boston professional sports thrive. Games are often sold out and area bars jam packed with those who could not get through the gates. And when Boston teams fall short, their loyal fans feel their loss, but keep cheering because they know that soon enough their teams will win again.
Celtics Pride
Celtics fans bleed green to match the uniforms of their favorite team. Legends have dribbled their way across the court of the Garden where the abundance of seats ensure ticket availability even for the most in demand games. A typical game is a fun, family friendly event with lots of action. Watch the dancers get their groove on and the crowd going to the beat of popular tunes, or enjoy all of the extras that may just make you a Celtics fan yourself like the performances and prize crew making the rounds at every game.
Boston Bruins Shoot the Puck
The Boston Bruins bring hockey to life inside the TD Garden. Here they battle to reach the goal as fans cheer from behind the safety of the glass that keeps the pucks from flying freely into the crowd. Fans come from all walks of life and are passionate about their team. You'll see more jersey wearing locals living it up at game time at a Bruins game than at any other Boston sporting event.
Red Sox Nation
Boston sports are not complete without a visit to the legendary Fenway Park and the Red Sox. Fans of all ages flock to this family friendly park, the oldest in MLB, where even the littlest fans can have some fun. With the Green Monster looming high above left field you'll see why fewer "homah's" head out of the park here, while the lucky few perched in the seats that loom above the wall have a view like no other. Those looking to save a buck will have a blast in the bleachers where the rowdy crowd gets everyone riled up.

Once inside the gates, you'll find fans with one thing in common: they are equally as passionate about getting a win.
