TD Garden
The subway stops underneath it — TD Garden is built directly above MBTA's North Station, so you step off the train and you are already at the door.

New England's most-visited sports arena, drawing nearly 3.5 million people a year, it puts the Boston Bruins (NHL) and Boston Celtics (NBA) under the same roof. The event calendar runs from the annual Beanpot college hockey tournament to the 2016 World Figure Skating Championships and the 2021 Laver Cup — no other arena in the region matches that range.
What to look for
- MBTA North Station platforms directly beneath the arena — the building's literal foundation
- Dual professional tenancy in a single building: an NHL franchise and an NBA franchise sharing the same home, with the floor reconfigured between hockey and basketball seasons
- Beanpot tournament signage marking the annual college hockey event that has made this building its permanent home
North Station (MBTA) is inside the building; it is the most direct arena arrival in Boston with no street crossing required.
TD Garden is one of 31 sights worth the detour in Boston, all bundled offline in Voyage GO — download the Boston pack and it sits on your map with no signal, filling your travel passport the moment you walk past.
