BOSTON, MA (September 24, 2015) — TD Garden announced today in celebration of the arena's 20th birthday on September 30, the launch of 'Banner Moments', a fan and community engagement campaign and a backstage birthday party to be held on Wednesday, September 30, 2015.

Thousands of Boston sports and entertainment fans will be treated to a first-ever half-ice, half-parquet arena floor set-up on Wednesday, September 30. From 3:00 p.m – 7:00 p.m, fans will be invited to take a shot on the Bruins ice and a three-point attempt on the historic Celtics parquet court, as well as capture a once-in-a-lifetime photo between both team logos at center ice/court, and get a backstage experience. In true birthday party fashion, all ticketed fans will receive official TD Garden party favors and unique 'Banner Moments' will happen throughout the day.

"More than anything, we wanted to take this opportunity of TD Garden's 20th birthday and Delaware North's 100th anniversary to say thank you," said Charlie Jacobs, CEO for Delaware North's Boston Holdings. "Thank you to the artists, promoters, athletes and fans who have helped create so many banner moments for Boston over the past couple decades. We hope that this free birthday party for the community will be a unique chance for fans to get as close as ever and experience TD Garden like they never have before."

A limited number of FREE tickets will be available starting Thursday, September 24 at noon on www.TDGarden.com/BannerMoments. Fans are also encouraged to engage online and follow @TDGarden on Twitter and Instagram for updates. By sharing their favorite TD Garden memories via Twitter and Instagram using #BannerMoments, fans will have a chance to win tickets and other memorable 'random acts of access'.

"TD Garden may be turning 20, but the arena has never looked better!" said Amy Latimer, President of TD Garden, speaking about the recent $70 million renovation of the arena. "With all of the exciting fan enhancements we've implemented in the past couple years, it feels like it's a brand new venue again. We're looking forward to delivering many more memorable banner moments in the years to come."

The $160 million privately financed TD Garden, owned and operated by Delaware North, first opened its doors to the public on September 30, 1995. In the 20 years since, the venue has generated more than $325 million in direct economic impact to the Greater Boston region from its major national events alone, not including its high-profile Bruins and Celtics tenants. The arena has played host to countless marquee events, including the Democratic National Convention, NHL All-Star Game, NCAA Frozen Fours, NCAA Women's Final Four, NCAA March Madness, WWE's Wrestlemania, U.S. Gymnastics Olympic Trials, and U.S. Figure Skating Championships, among others. TD Garden is also slated to host the upcoming 2016 World Figure Skating Championships and 2018 NCAA Men's Basketball East Regionals, which are expected to bring in an additional combined $47 million in local economic impact.

TD Garden is also home to more pro championship banners than any arena in the country, honoring the Bruins' six Stanley Cup championships and the Celtics' 17 NBA titles.

Delaware North is one of the largest privately-held hospitality and food service companies in the world. Founded in 1915 and owned by the Jacobs family for 100 years, Delaware North has global operations at high-profile places such as sports and entertainment venues, national and state parks, destination resorts and restaurants, airports, and regional casinos.
