Guide to Matthews Arena: Tickets, Events, and Venue Information

Matthews Arena, at 238 St. Botolph Street in Boston, is a historic stage for college hockey and live entertainment. Opened in 1910 as the Boston Arena, it is the oldest multipurpose arena still in use. It has hosted milestones, including the Boston Bruins’ first NHL game and early Boston Celtics contests. Today it hosts Northeastern University’s men’s and women’s hockey, with intimate sightlines, a low roof that keeps the noise in, and a Back Bay location.

Inside, capacity sits around 4,666 for hockey, with a steep bowl that puts you close to the action. The Huskies’ DogHouse student section brings volume all night, and the building’s renovations have refreshed seating, lighting, and amenities while preserving its vintage charm. Beyond hockey, Matthews Arena welcomes concerts, tournaments, and community events, creating an energetic calendar year-round.

Getting there is easy via the MBTA, with Symphony on the Green Line and Massachusetts Avenue on the Orange Line nearby, plus limited garages and rideshare zones. Concessions, accessible seating, and clear wayfinding keep your night smooth.
