The Boston Garden
The Boston Garden was built in 1928. Perhaps no other indoor sports arena was as storied as the Garden. In its day, the Garden hosted no less than 16 Stanley Cups and 19 NBA Championships. It also hosted Elvis Presley, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Bruce Springsteen, and the Grateful Dead. Perhaps the most important concert to ever play at the Garden was James Brown the night Martin Luther King was shot. The concert was televised by every station in Boston, and was largely the reason Boston did not experience the riots suffered elsewhere. The Boston Garden was torn down in 1999.
