Watching the Game in Boston?

There is a place close to Fenway where lsu fans watch. I think that's the name.

bars in town I can watch the Basketball Game at?

anywhere with a TV

Baseball tavern is your best bet. There is nothing officially going on with the alumni group, but my guess is that people will show up because it's the default place. I might even ride in from the burbs.

I'll be there, live right across the street. $2.50 Bud Heavys all day every day!

On a side note, I am am visiting Boston for Easter and was wondering if the Celtic games was something worth doing. Seems I can get tickets upstairs on Friday night at a good price whereas the Bruins tickets are much more expensive. Any thoughts?

Suddenly Celtics games have gotten a lot more interesting. About 6 weeks ago I would have told you not to bother because it looked like the C's were going to tank. But after all of the trades they made this year, the team they have is starting to click and they're in the hunt for a playoff spot in the
East (which I'll admit isn't saying much). People are back into it and even though there's been the drop off from the Big 3 era, the place is still pretty packed and lively.

This a huge hockey town (HS Hockey is bigger than Football) so the Bruins have a very dedicated fan base. (thus the expense) The other thing about Bruins fans is that the Average Joe still goes to their games and so the crowd is very much into it (even tho they're barely holding on to a playoff spot). If you've never seen an NHL game before, it's worth it, especially in a market where they really know the game. IMHO, it's the best of the major sports to see live. If you've been to an NHL game before, that I would go with the cheaper option, but I love hoops and I'm an ex New Orleanian who doesn't appreciate (or understand) hockey in the same way.
