TD Garden opened in 1995 as the replacement for the old Boston Garden and is home to the Boston Bruins of the NHL and the Boston Celtics of the NBA, plus concerts and college games. The arena sits directly above the MBTA's North Station, so you can arrive by train. On Levels 5 and 6 you'll find The Sports Museum, whose guided tours take you up to Level 9 to see the championship banners, and the Boston Bruins Heritage Hall.
