TD Garden commits to changes for new hated seats

Fans were loud and finally they have been heard. 

The TD Garden has committed to reevaluate its newly installed seats after fans complained about a lack of leg room. The cushioned seats were installed as part of a $100 million renovation that replaced all arena bowl seats and added 500 new seats in the upper levels.

However, fans posted pictures featuring knees-smashed-against-the-seat-in-front-of-me. 

A TD Garden spokesman said that, while the average seat size did not change, “cushioning on bottom and back of all seats, new armrest design, and increased seat back height and the overall ergonomics may contribute to a smaller seat feel for guests.”

This has finally prompted TD Garden president Amy Latimer to make an announcement that they will reassess the seats.

A timeline for the re-evaluation was not disclosed. But we bet Bruins fans will hope it is sooner rather than later.
