I had agreed with Felger the other day putting it in the Leader Bank Pavilion spot, but McCarthy's idea for Gillette World Headquarters spot is perfect! It is in the city, good public transit around, already available parking (in addition to hopefully more parking being built below) and not right on top of the current Garden. The only thing is there is no really good sports bars that come to mind in that area to me. Anyone else have any other thoughts on where would be a good spot for it?

The lease at TD goes for another 12 years so I wouldn’t expect a new stadium
What’s wrong with TD? The sharing?
The Pavillion can’t seem to hold a naming rights sponsor to save their life, but its a pretty fun music venue, and probably not big enough to hold a new arena.
I personally hate the idea of the Celtics playing anywhere else besides the Garden, and if the Revs stadium saga is anything to go by I think it’s extremely unlikely that another Celtics stadium ever gets built.
That said, if one *were* to be built, I think it’d most realistically be a part of the casino complex in Everett. Wynn has been pressing hard for a stadium to be built in that area, and while the buzz has been about a soccer stadium I’m sure they’d rather pivot to basketball if that’s legally and practically on the table.
When it comes to hoops I only listen to Leroy and Cerone everyone else is painfull to listen too
This is all around a terrible idea.
Putting aside the history of the Cs playing in the Garden (even if this isn’t the original), building another stadium so that the Cs and Bruins don’t share is just flat out dumb for the city. It creates another traffic nightmare someplace else downtown, it builds out another site with an enormous building which will sit empty most of the time (and none of the locations I’ve seen floated here will get towers like the Garden has), and the city will end up on the hook for a bunch of the cost one way or another.
Nobody wins in this scenario.
I get why The C’s want their own stadium but we really don’t need another one in the city
I’ve got the perfect spot: the garden
Fun sports talk topic but it will never happen. I especially liked the bit where they talked about the new arena being less car/parking dependant while failing to mention the Garden is literally built on top of a train station…
Imagine having Celtics, Bruins, and Sox games on the same night. Boston traffic would be at a standstill.
I like it where it is
You’re out of your mind. The Garden, with both the Celtics and Bruins playing there, had completely revitalized the Bullfinch area
It’ll go at either the Gillette HQ, somewhere in the seaport, or the Allston train yard. The train yard makes a lot of sense since it would be right down the street from where they practice but, traffic on the pike would be even worse. I genuinely don’t see them going to Encore. There’s no transportation to get there and traffic would be a nightmare on top of that.
HELL no. I’m from that area and traffic is already beyond fucked every single day. It’s still 20 miles outside the city which might as well be Kansas.
Could they go Suffolk Downs?
Peak offseason talk
They have 12 years remaining on the lease lmao
if they build it, the sports bars will come
lol. Everyone on here bitching about traffic 50 nights a year. New stadium is good for everyone as long as the tax payer doesn’t pay for it.
If they move the team out of Boston, I’ll revolt. There’s no way in hell I’d go out to Foxboro to go to a game; or even get on the Tobin/93/1 to go to Revere/Everett.
