Celtics games to attend

[GemParty]

How many times will you visit Boston to see Kemba play again? Where my C’s fans at. Exciting to have him back in the Northeast. Will be a big asset to Hurley’s Pitch. Hope he attends plenty of UConn games.

Lived in metro Boston almost 20 years now. Been to one Celtics game. Maybe I’ll go to one this year. It’s such a pain in the ass to get there and the games are late.

I'll be there courtside near the Celtics bench many times with a 2011 National Championship t-shirt.

I went to a Charlotte-Celtics game in Boston last season and a guy sitting behind me and I yelled "Huskies" at a stoppage in play and he looked over at us and winked. We'll see if I can get a bigger reaction this coming season with a 2011 National Championship t-shirt on.

Holy Smokes Hooper, let me know if a ticket or 2 shakes free with you. Would love to experience a game that close. Message me anytime. I’ll buy the steak dinner & beers after!

I go to 3-4 a year between presents from family and those I buy myself. Might have to make it closer to 10 this year.

UConn legend Kemba Walker, who was introduced by the Boston Celtics at a press conference yesterday afternoon, said he's "super excited to be back [in New England], not only to get a chance to play in front of Boston fans but UConn fans as well."

My most recent Celtics game yielded a photo of me sitting on the floor next to a giant photo mural where my body best mimicked that of Travis Knight sitting on the floor. When Ray won his his first Championship ring, it rekindled that goose-bumpy feeling of having 'my' lifelong team winning for the first time in more than 2 decades.

My fondest hope is that my Needham-resident, NBA fan, college best friend is given ample reason to love Kemba as a pro the way I did when he was Runner-up Big East and NCAA Player of the Year in 2010-11. AND, that he gets tickets again through work, so I can join him for a game (too many other great things I can do with the money it costs to attend pro sports live, and enough memories at varying price points to satisfy me if I never again go).

Hmm...Work tickets. Never even wanted them for Celts/Bruins in the past (too much headache) but maybe. We certainly have tons that probably go unused.

Even better can be downwind from a client ticket.

I don't get the client side tickets for sure. But we have suites and seats in every MA pro venue (and others like Citizens Bank park in Philly and Wrigley). Just need to find the right "in".

Life time Knicks fan here......having a major emotional attraction (and simultaneous knicks revulsion) to Celtics. I’ve found myself searching for Celtics news and scores bc of Kemba. Is it possible to change allegiances? It may be happening. Finally. Thanks god.

Friend referred to above was Long Island-bred Yankees and Knicks fan. Nearly 40 years post-college has made him a Red Sox and Celtics. Something about TV access has made a difference, I suppose.

I don't see how Sox - Yankees happens. Giants and Patriots are different leagues. Jets - Patriots seems impossible.

But the Celtics and Knicks don't have that much history. Celtics fans consider the Lakers and Sixers their rivals. Bruins rivals are Montreal.

Do it. Come to the green side

Been living in the Boston area for the past 6 years. Have been to a number of Celtics games but haven't been this excited to attend games in a while.

Already bought a Kemba Celtics jersey to hang next to my Kemba UConn jersey at home. If there's anyone who can change the Celtics culture for the better it's this man.

 

[GemParty]

Remember when they played a few regular season games at the Civic Center? Hopefully we will get a preseason one bringing Kemba back home to CT.

Not a fan of baseball, but is Sox-Yankees even still a thing? 10-15 years ago I used to hear the fans bickering like an old married couples. These days I never even hear anyone talking about baseball. Is baseball fading away?

Boston local here... I'm sure you could get a little Boston Boneyarders group together to make use of your corporate tickets. My company doesn't seem to have a Celtics thing but does Sox games here and there.


I've lived in Boston 6 years now, usually go to about a game a year but I will likely try to get to quite a few this season and on. I'll probably look to cheap games to get better seats, and usually wear some UConn gear.

I love how attentive Kemba has been to the large contingent of UConn fans in/near Boston who I'm sure have come out of the woodwork since his free agent signing. It's just so cool to see him shout out the UConn fans he will now be so close to. I honestly wont be shocked if the C's see an influx of jersey purchases simply because so many nearby alumni will now be invested in the team who maybe weren't that into the NBA before

They just played in the playoffs last season. Yeah, it's still a thing. But it's not like 2003-2004 though. Sox fans have mellowed a little after 4 championships in 15 seasons.

Sox fans have mellowed and Yankees fans have lost a little arrogance and don't goad them as much. It's more peaceful now. But they are still the respective rival teams.

Can anyone suggest a nice hotel fairly close or convenient to the Garden that a family might enjoy if an overnite stay was the plan?
