The Boston Celtics practice facility will be the latest dramatic element at Boston Landing — at 55 feet in the air cantilevered out to the edge of the Mass Pike. The Celtics new practice home, including the team’s 17 NBA championship banners, will be highly visible from the Massachusetts Turnpike with a forty foot glass wall enclosing the practice courts that face the approximately 130,000 daily commuters. The practice facility will encompass approximately 70,000 square feet.
Features of the comprehensive practice facility will include:
- Two state-of-the-art parquet floor basketball courts where the team will practice
- Leading edge audio-visual technology throughout the facility
- Expanded strength and conditioning, training, and recovery facilities
- Best-in-class locker rooms and players’ lounge
- Physical therapy areas including hydrotherapy pools
- Sports science and nutrition facilities
- Expanded media work room, press conference and broadcast facilities
- A flexible hospitality area for guests and hosting community relations activities
- Work space for the team’s coaching and basketball front office staffs
The Cs are the latest team to build one of these fancy pants practice facilities. You gotta keep up with the Jones’ right? Especially as your bidding for free agents over the next few summers.
This press release couldn’t be more of a press release. State of the art… leading edge… best in class…
Thank you, Wyc.
