History

• In 1985 the rights to the location of the proposed stadium were awarded to Boston Garden owner Delaware North. However, construction was riddled with setbacks and economic troubles that slowed progress.

• Construction of the arena took over two years with ground broken on the project on April 29, 1993 and opening on September 30, 1995.

• The stadium has received major renovations three times since its completion. First in 2006, and then again in 2009 and 2014.
