Boston Celtics: NBA Basketball Thrills at TD Garden
With one of the youngest teams in the league, the Boston Celtics have a shot at winning the 2019 NBA Championship – perhaps not the greatest odds, but a shot nonetheless. The Celtics were one of the original eight teams in the National Basketball League when it formed in 1946. They’re a member of the NBA’s Eastern Conference Atlantic Division and play games at TD Garden, located 1.3 miles from our hotel (which they share with the Boston Bruins NHL team).
The team’s name and their mascot “Lucky the Leprechaun” are both a nod to Boston’s rich Irish heritage and history. For this season, expect their longstanding rivalry with the Los Angeles Lakers to really heat up – after all, the Boston Red Sox just blew away the Los Angeles Dodgers in baseball’s World Series. Preseason expectations for the team were very high – let’s see if the Celtics can live up to the hype.
Boston Bruins: Professional Hockey Action on the Ice at TD Garden
America’s oldest hockey team hits the ice at TD Garden every winter, initiating new fans into the wild-eyed frenzy that is professional NHL hockey. Members of the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference, the Bruins have won six Stanley Cup championships.
On November 10, they’ll face off against their Atlantic Division rival Toronto Maple Leafs before facing the Western Conference Champion Vegas Golden Knights on November 11 – two games that you might want to catch. If you’ve never been to a professional hockey game, a match with the Boston Bruins is the perfect place to start. TD Garden is just 1.3 miles from Revere Hotel.
New England Patriots: Boston’s Champion NFL Team at Gillette Stadium
On a five-game winning streak at the time of writing, the New England Patriots dominate the National Football League’s American Football Conference (AFC) East division. They’ve won nine straight division titles from 2009 to 2017, and are tied with the Dallas Cowboys for the second most Super Bowl wins ever at five (only the Steelers have more with six).
After losing to the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2018 Super Bowl, the Patriots are back and ready for vengeance this season. Expect quarterback Tom Brady to continue his masterful ability to accumulate passing yards as one of the best players in the history of the game. The New England Patriots play at Gillette Stadium, located in Foxborough, Massachusetts about 21 miles from our Boston hotel.
College Football in Boston: Harvard University & Boston College
Bostonians have two NCAA Division I college football teams to cheer for: Harvard Crimson football and the Boston College Eagles. Harvard University has one of the oldest football programs in the world, which started in 1873. They’ve also had a string of championship wins with a legacy that’s one of the best in the country. Their biggest game of the season is no doubt their rivalry match with Yale on November 17, which will take place at Boston’s Fenway Park (1.7 miles from our hotel). For other games, Harvard Crimson’s home football games take place at Harvard Stadium in Boston’s Allston neighborhood (4.5 miles from our hotel).
The Boston College Eagles play nearby at Alumni Stadium in Chestnut Hill (5.6 miles from our hotel). Many Bostonians also cheer for the NCAA Division I Minutemen team from the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, as many city dwellers previously attended this nearby school.
