fortunate to attend at least 200 Celtics games there.  But if you were 
there (as I was) on the night everyone was sent home in the second 
quarter because the ice under the floor was melting, you would have 
concluded that the building had to be replaced.

The Fleet Center will never have the atmosphere of the Garden, but once 
the Celts are good enough to sell out the place and win a few playoff 
games, those concerns will disappear.
