Thank you very much, Daniel. That was a special moment for me, and for you as well in the UK. The silence seems to magnify the history that occurred there. I never attended a game at the Boston Garden, but I went to several at the original Yankee Stadium, which was a treasure. There are still several baseball parks like Fenway Park (Boston Red Sox) and Wrigley Field (Chicago Cubs) that fall into that category.
Great story and experience Ben. Hooray for you. I had a similar experience in Rupp Arena as a child (minus the kind gentleman). BTW I hate Kentucky with equal vigor as I do the Celtics. A magical memory of youth that you brought back with your essay. Thank you. 🙏
As a fan of Celtic Football Club here in the UK, I’ve always kept an eye on the Boston Celtics results. Even took in a game when we were over 20 years ago
A few years back me and my son got a private tour of Celtic Football Stadium and the silent majesty these arenas have when they’re empty is something to behold
That was a great read, Ben and a reminder why we follow our teams through the highs and the lows 🍀

Dee, I'm really glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for the kind words.
I hate Kentucky. Hate them.

What a fun story and great memory 👍🏻
So I had to read this because:
A. You mentioned the Garden (I lived in MA for 18 years)
B. The first time I lived in MA was in Boston in 1988
I don’t follow basketball... more of a Bruins fan, but fun to read anyway.
