What We Loved
- Super convenient getting there was smooth and stress-free.
- Electric energy with a sold-out crowd; witnessing a historic WNBA moment added even more buzz.
- Close to the action, just behind the announcers, a bucket list seating without the astronomical courtside pricing.
- Well laid out and easy to navigate, especially arriving early.
- The 2021 renovation really paid off the scoreboard was a visual standout and enhanced the overall viewing experience.
- Tatum and Holiday in the building? Instant bonus points for vibes.
- $462 for two VIP seats is a great price for a bucket list event.
What We Didn't Like
- Repetitive and underwhelming food options: hot dogs, pretzels, and popcorn at every turn, lacking variety and any local flair.
- Decent but not plush seating, especially at the VIP level where you'd expect a little more space or padding.
The Verdict
Our experience at TD Garden for the Connecticut Sun vs LA Sparks game checked off several big boxes: historic game ✅, bucket list seats ✅, packed house energy ✅. While the food variety left something to be desired, and the seats didn’t quite scream “VIP,” the ease of transit and overall vibe made for a truly memorable night.
Final Impression: A top-tier experience, especially for fans chasing WNBA milestones. Worth the splurge, even if you might bring your own snacks next time.
