TD Garden has a classic three-level bowl: the 100-level lower bowl, the 200-level loge, and the 300-level balcony. With 19,156 seats, it's one of the more intimate NBA arenas. The steep upper deck means even balcony seats have a decent view of the court. The Celtics' iconic parquet floor is visible from every level. The arena was designed for hockey and basketball, so sightlines are optimized for both sports.
