A brief history of “The Boston Garden”
The infamous Boston Garden was built in 1928, since then it has seen 17 NBA Championships (including this year’s Celtics), 5 Stanley Cups, many amazing music performances and sadly, numerous name changes. To almost everyone in Boston, the name of the arena will always be The Boston Garden and not the FleetCenter, the TD BankNorth Garden or Whatever The Hell The Garden’s Called Now." Why can’t the name of the arena just officially be named the Boston Garden? If the TD BankNorth, or Commerce Bank or whatever their new name will be after their merger (see "article) still want their name in the Arena, they can call it The Boston Garden presented by TD Commerce Back" or even the “TD Boston Garden.” Theoretically, their name will be in the title but the Garden will be called what it should have been called since 1997 when the old Boston Ga "Read More

A brief history of “The Boston Garden”
The infamous Boston Garden was built in 1928, since then it has seen 17 NBA Championships (including this year’s Celtics), 5 Stanley Cups, many amazing music performances and sadly, numerous name changes. To almost everyone in Boston, the name of the arena will always be The Boston Garden and not the FleetCenter, the TD BankNorth Garden or Whatever The Hell The Garden’s Called Now." Why can’t the name of the arena just officially be named the Boston Garden? If the TD BankNorth, or Commerce Bank or whatever their new name will be after their merger (see "article) still want their name in the Arena, they can call it “The Boston Garden presented by TD Commerce Back” or even the “TD Boston Garden.” Theoretically, their name will be in the title but the Garden will be called what it should have been called since 1997 when the old Boston Garden was torn down and the FleetCenter was built.
Over the last four years the Garden has gone through 3 different name changes not including the series of daily name changes that occurred in early 2005 when arena owner Delaware North Companies auctioned off naming rights each day to raise money for charity. The Garden has basically gone through hundreds of name changes over the last 5 years and it is time to settle on the one that it has been since 1928, “The Boston Garden.” The people of Boston need to know that their beloved Basketball and Hockey Arena will have one name, a name that can last for a long time.
The Tipping Action
What better time for TD BankNorth to make a statement and show that they care about the city of Boston. Bring back the Boston Garden as it was when the Celtics won their first 16 championships. If 18,624 people (the capacity of the Garden) join we can make this happen. If we all agree to flood their customer service on the week the campaign tips they won’t be able to ignore us. Each person will send one email to customer service and make one call to 617.624.1331 (customer service line).
Please help fix this injustice for the World Champion Boston Celtics, Boston Bruins, and their fans.
