The TD Banknorth Garden is a great place to go if you're a fan of either the Boston Celtics or Boston Bruins. Both teams play their home games here- and it's affordable enough to get tickets for the whole family. They also host large area concerts here such as the Rolling Stones and U2. Parking is a pain, but if you know some area neighborhoods like Charlestown you might escape with only paying $5.
Unfortunately, the staff at the TD Banknorth Garden is not very helpful. Even if you're obviously of age, they will not serve you alcohol with an out-of-state ID- a real pain if you want to bring out-of-town friends to a game. They are very rude and charge way too much for things like food and beverage inside the Center.
