Ever wonder what the old Boston Garden looked like inside before they demolished it? As the home to the Boston Celtics and the Bruins, dating to the birth of both franchises, the old Garden was built in 1928 and called “Boston Madison Square Garden” before being shortened to just “Boston Garden” or even just “the Garden,” as locals often called it.
Luckily for fans of Boston sports, someone took some footage of the old Garden just before it was torn down after the new Garden — now called “TD Garden” — was finished in 1995. The old Garden sat vacant for three years, but was finally demolished in 1998.
Take a look at the video walkthrough of the old Boston Garden embedded below, whether it’s a trip down memory lane or the first time you’ve seen that hallowed ground for yourself.
