An absolutely amazing gem of a Boston Garden employee giving us one final tour of an empty, yet still operational Boston Garden.

I feel like I sat In every one of those seats and walked every mile of the Old Gahden. Went there for over 30 years from Medford. I watched My Dad graduate from North Eastern there. One of My More prouder moments. I saw Bobby Orr play Hockey there. I saw Terry Oreilly play for The Boston Braves there. I saw ThevGrateful Dead there multiple times. I saw Normand Leveille play there. ( sadly, it was a very short career for him. )God bless him. ). I miss that place. I miss the smell. I miss Saturday matinee Bruins games there. I miss Saturday night wrestling. I miss that place all together. Thanks for the memories.

Front row Balcony, center ice was the best seat in sports. I remember Neely saying it felt like the crowd was right over your head!

@master-kq3nw I was lucky enough to see a few bruins games at the old barn with my dad as I was born in 1980 and I so wish they could have somehow found a way to turn it into a museum I would have loved to still be able to go into the old garden
