No one gave a crap when the Kraft Family tore down Foxboro Stadium but when The Garden came down that was huge in Boston, at one point I was watching the ceremony on TV with a huge lump in my throat and my buddy called me and was kind of choked up himself and said " I cant believe this, the circus as a kid with my Dad, Black Sabbath, Watching Bird, Parish and McCale run up and down that court with Dr J. We went from kids being taken to that building, to young adults going therer ourselves for games and concerts to parents taking our kids there for the circus. "
I dont have that kind of connection with the "TD Banknorth Garden" I could tell you Boston Garden stories for days!
A good stadium can hold a lot of great memories.
