Agganis Arena
Tired of the crush of fan traffic when going to the TD Banknorth Garden (or whatever it’s being called this year) for a show? How about not being able to see the sports game because you’re in the nosebleed seats of this over 19,000 seat facility?
If you’re not into the Celtics or Bruins and like smaller shows, then check out the Agganis Arena which is part of Boston University on Commonwealth Avenue. While this venue is still large at seating about 7600, it’s far easier to get to and much easier to see your favorite act. I’ve seen Duran Duran (who was the very first musical act who christened the Arena back in April 2005), Alicia Keys and Dave Chappelle here. Yes…Dave Chappelle. He was still funny even after the whole Africa thing.
So, check out the schedule from time to time or sign up for their newsletter to be alerted of upcoming shows. If you like sports, you can still watch the B.U. Terrier men’s and women’s teams in action for basketball and hockey. Even The Cure is coming September 25th.
I would still take the T though…parking is always a premium in Boston, no matter where you are!

Good call on the Agganis Arena! Even better call recommending the T (unless you know the secret places to park, which I do…heh heh)…
Keep up the great work, Lei!
