Spine thickness?? - Delaware North

Lighting it up
While the venue continues to lead the way in
many respects for the industry, it also has been
lighting the way for Boston fans. An exterior
lighting project with a specialty energy-saving
LED platform was installed to illuminate the
Garden at night. The new design provides a
60-percent decrease in kilowatt consumption
over the previous equipment.
The project brings an exciting new live lighting
element to the venue’s exterior with an assortment
of lighting capabilities to signify the events that
are happening within the building. When the
Boston Bruins are playing at home, the building
now basks in a gold glow; for the Boston Celtics, a
leprechaun green; the Boston Blazers, a fiery red;
concerts shimmer in a rainbow of tie-dye; and
special events radiate a blue hue.
To celebrate a home-team win, the building has the
ability to do the “wave” through a special lighting
effect, signifying the victory within the city skyline.
With a name change to TD Garden, new vibrant
entertaining spaces, the Bruins and Celtics
returning to the form of their glory days and more
big-name musical acts lining up to take the Garden
stage, Delaware North Companies Boston is
uniquely poised to generate even more celebratory
waves and memorable live experiences for New
England sports and entertainment fans for many
years to come.
HIGHLIGHTS
After Boston is selected in July 2009 to host the
2010 Bridgestone/NHL Winter Classic on
New Year’s Day, the outdoor game more than
lives up to the hype as the Boston Bruins defeat
the Philadelphia Flyers 2-1 in overtime. The
Jacobs family is credited with bringing the
highly popular sporting event to Boston and
with expanding it into a weeklong series of
public events.
Proving a bear market is a good thing, the
Boston Bruins post one of the best seasons in
team history during the 2008-09 campaign.
The team sees its share of postseason play in
2010 as well.
Boston Celtics General Manager Danny Ainge
and Head Coach Doc Rivers lead one of the
most dramatic turnarounds in NBA history.
On the heels of a championship in 2008,
the Celtics advance easily to postseason play in
2009 and 2010.
The Garden is a finalist for SportsBusiness Journal’s
coveted Arena of the Year award. Adding a new
tenant (the Boston Blazers), double-digit
increases in concerts and family shows, and a
20-percent increase in revenue are just some
of the reasons it is the center of the sports
world’s attention.
