Northeastern University’s Matthews Arena, formerly known as Boston Arena, closed its doors after 115 years. The historic athletic hall was once home to the Boston Bruins and Boston Celtics before the construction of the old Boston Garden. Many iconic public figures, not just professional athletes, have graced the hall once upon a time; the likes of Teddy Roosevelt & JFK are just a few. The Northeastern-owned facility will be deconstructed for a new state-of-the-art facility, which is set to be ready in 2028. Dan spoke with a variety of sports figures who have either worked, played or had a connection to the historic arena.
