Celtics have chance to clinch 18th NBA title in Boston
SO DANNY. WELL, JENNIFER, AS YOU CAN IMAGINE, BUSINESS OWNERS HERE COULDN’T BE HAPPIER WITH THE ADDED REVENUE. I WOKE UP AND REALIZED WHAT A GREAT TEAM BOSTON WERE IN 86. HENCE THE T SHIRT. AUSTRALIAN NATIVE GREG HOLT HAS BEEN A DEDICATED CELTICS FAN SINCE LARRY BIRD HOISTED THE CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY IN 86. VERY EXCITED AND VERY CONFIDENT ABOUT TOMORROW NIGHT’S GAME. HE’LL BE ONE OF THE LUCKY FANS GETTING TO WATCH GAME FIVE FROM INSIDE TD GARDEN. I HAD NEVER BEEN TO A TD GARDEN BEFORE IN MY LIFE, BUT FOR THOSE UNABLE TO AFFORD THE STEEP TICKETS TO WATCH PARTIES ARE THE NEXT BEST THING. THEY WANT TO BE HERE. THEY LOVE THE ATMOSPHERE. BIG NIGHT LIVE STUDIO B AND PLAY BOSTON HAVE BEEN HOSTING GAME WATCH PARTIES FOR ABOUT THREE YEARS. THEIR DIRECTOR OF TICKETING SAYS THEY’VE BEEN ABLE TO TRANSLATE THIS EXTENDED SEASON INTO ADDED REVENUE FOR THE BUSINESS, ESPECIALLY DURING KIND OF LIKE THE THE SLOW MONTHS IN THE SUMMER FOR INDOOR VENUES. THIS IS DEFINITELY A HUGE THING FOR US. THE CITY ESTIMATES EACH NBA FINALS GAME WILL BRING ABOUT 6 MILLION EXTRA DOLLARS TO THE BOSTON ECONOMY. IT’S NIGHT AND DAY. WESTON GIANNIS, OWNER JOHN KAREN SAYS THEY’VE DEFINITELY FELT IT. NOTHING CAN REPLACE A POSTSEASON IN ANYTHING, SO HAVING THE SELLOUTS IN IS CERTAINLY ELECTRIC. THE CITY WILL BE CLOSING CANAL STREET BEFORE AND DURING GAME FIVE SO PEOPLE CAN ENJOY THE GAME. BUT THIS YEAR THERE WILL NOT BE A WATCH PARTY AT CITY HALL PLAZA AS THERE HAS BEEN IN PAST YEARS. WE’RE LIV
