Celtics have had 14 owners the last 75 years. That seems like a lot to me. Present group is the longest at 19 years. Looks like the pattern is each group wins a championship then cashes in. For such an iconic franchise that’s strange. Usually teams that win so much have the continuity of a great owner. In the time the Buss family has owned the lakers the Celts have probably had 9-10 owners.
Weird. I wonder why. I suspect they don’t own the garden or their own real estate but I don’t know that for sure.
Maybe just a bunch of opportunists have bought them. Boston has a few suburbs where they could build quite a palace. Like within 30 minutes of downtown. I forget where my son's roommate is from. Cute little town and oddly, the location of the guy who started the whole USC buy your kid into college scandal. I mean, it's not like the Bosdton Garden is the legendary Garden now anyway. They tore that one down and built the new one, which apparently lacks a lot of the personality of the old.
They and the Bruins both kind of share a training center about 10 minutes down the freeway. You can look up and see huge windows and people working out in there. Like a 24 hr fitness, all the treadmills and machines and looking out over the freeway. My biggest problem when I go by is craning my neck and looking and almost running into the other people on the freeway while I should be driving.
