Boston- The Sports Scene

Boston, The largest city in the commonwealth of Massachusetts and one of the oldest cities in the United States, offers a rich and inviting history.  Part of this history involves three storied sports franchises; the Patriots, Celtics, and Red Sox. All three are recent World champions in Football, Basketball and Baseball, respectively.   The hype surrounding each franchise reaches a fevered pitch once their season starts and that level of excitement is unlikely to die down anytime soon.

The Patriots are in the process of writing their story and three Super Bowl wins in the last decade is a great introductory chapter.  The Celtics are reviving their past glory and still remain the franchise who has won the most NBA Championships in history.  The new tandem of All-Stars Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, and Ray Allen have already won a  championship ring together in 2008, but can’t wait for you to come watch them win a few more. Boston loves their baseball and the Red Sox have not disappointed in recent years. 2004 and 2007 were championship years for the Red Sox and they are in the hunt again this year.

The Patriots actually play about 45 minutes outside of the center of Boston, in Foxboro. However, there are many great apartments within minutes of Boston’s Td Garden Arena and Fenway Park.
