Fans going to TD Garden to attend Bruins and Celtics games as well as other events will notice multiple changes to the building. The TD Garden has been giving fans plans throughout the past season as to what to expect but just recently gave fans a bigger glimpse into what to expect at the Garden this season.
On Tuesday, TD Garden unveiled the first look at the first round of changes to the Garden coming as part of a $100 million upgrade which includes new seats, expanded parking garage, Garden HDX upgrade, “Rafters” club, and concourse expansion.
New look, who dis? 🤩
Nearly three months later, #TDGarden’s first round of upgrades are nearly complete, including all-new seats, HDX enhancements and Rafters, #BostonGardenSociety’s newest level of entertainment! #ExperienceLegendary

Seat Upgrade
Arguably the most noticeable change coming this season is the removal of the iconic yellow and black seating in the arena which was installed in 1995 when the building was built. These seats have been replaced with all-black seats that are more modern and designed for comfort for the best possible experience for Bruins fans. Even in the balcony seats, fans will sit in cushioned seats that are a much improvement of the hard plastic seats that called the balcony home. Select old yellow seats will be reserved by the Boston Bruins Foundation and other foundations for future charitable endeavors.

Some fans, however, are unhappy that the yellow seating is gone in the arena as they were a staple for the TD Garden ever since the building replaced the Boston Garden which also featured yellow seating. The new black seats do in fact take away the unique look that the TD Garden possessed over the past 23 years.
Garden HDX Upgrade
The TD Garden center-ice video boards have been upgraded as well. Although to the eye the physical jumbotron will not look much different to B’s fans, it was upgraded to 4K screens which will be much clearer and easier for fans to see.
Rafters
Opening in November of 2019, the new Rafters club on level 9 will feature an extremely unique experience. This is a membership plan that is apart of the new Boston Garden Society and includes a communal bar area, food stands, and seating that allows fans to sit virtually above the ice surface.
Join Rafters and enjoy member amenities including access to two expansive bars, which will feature craft cocktails and a wide beer selection, exclusive private entrances, and more!

Concourse Expansion
The concourse area is also being expanded and is expected to also be completed in November 2019. The areas will be enlarged by 20% on the loge level and 30% on the balcony level. This all with the aim to give fans more room to meet friends, sit down and have food and drinks, and also add more merchandise pop-up stores, quick food options, and bar areas.
The Garden will look much different this year to Bruins fans as the expansion, upgrade, and renovation of TD Garden is ongoing as part of the Jacobs’ family’s $100 million dollar investment with the Garden is entering its 24th season as the proud home of the Boston Bruins and Boston Celtics. Fans will get to experience some of the new changed for the first time at the TD Garden when the Bruins host the Philadelphia Flyers in a preseason game on Monday, September 23.
