Boston’s Matthews Arena: End of an era

Matthews Arena, the world’s oldest multipurpose athletic building, is set to be torn down after 115 years—leaving a huge mark on Boston’s sports and music history. From hosting the first NHL and Celtics games to concerts by legends like Billie Holiday and Bob Dylan, this place is packed with memories for generations of Bostonians and Northeastern students. The community is feeling the loss deeply, but there’s also excitement for a new, modern facility.
