Just moments ago, the Boston Celtics officially broke ground on what is being hailed as one of the most ambitious infrastructure projects in the franchise’s storied history. The team announced the commencement of construction on a state-of-the-art permanent grandstand and VIP suite complex that will seat over 14,804 spectators, marking a significant step toward enhancing the fan experience and modernizing the team’s event capabilities.
The project, which has been in planning for nearly two years, will be located adjacent to TD Garden, serving as a complementary venue for select games, training events, community programs, and exclusive VIP experiences. Celtics executives, city officials, and NBA representatives attended the ceremonial groundbreaking this afternoon, praising the development as a “milestone investment in Boston’s sports legacy.”
“This isn’t just a new structure,” said Celtics President of Operations Brad Stevens. “It’s a symbol of our long-term commitment to the city, our fans, and the future of Celtics basketball.”
The new grandstand will feature:
14,804+ capacity seating, optimized for both comfort and acoustics
Luxury VIP suites with panoramic views
A dedicated Celtics heritage museum wing
Advanced eco-sustainability features
Enhanced accessibility options and public transport connections
Construction is expected to be completed in phases, with a tentative grand opening planned for late 2026.
