TD Banknorth Garden unveils new seating

The owner of TD Banknorth Garden announced today that a $4 million renovation to the arena has created five new Premium Club hospitality and seating areas that will be ready in time for the 2008/09 seasons for the Bruins and the Celtics.

The garden's owner is Delaware North Cos., which provided the rendering that accompanies this story.

Located at the east end of the garden's Level 6, the area that underwent renovation was formerly known as Banners Restaurant, and the ledge seating area there will be replaced by the Lofts, "an all-inclusive private entertainment option ideal for four to six people," Delaware North said.

The company added in a press release: "The loft-inspired design features trendy lounge décor in a two-tier space overlooking the arena. This all-inclusive experience comes complete with a small plated five-course menu, game tickets, and parking. The 12 Lofts will be sold in 10-game packs, including both Bruins and Celtics, or team specific."

The press release added: "A new area accessible to all Premium Club members will be 'Club Lounge', sure to be a hot spot and valued amenity to our clients for networking and entertaining. The Club Lounge will feature a raw bar and expansive lounge with dining options and waited service. The Executive View is being built after the sold-out success of its next-door neighbor, the Garden View, which debuted at the start of the 2007/08 season. The corporate event suite will be an all-inclusive option for 30-50 people, complete with meeting capabilities and great views of the arena action."
