The Ringling Brothers & Barnum and Bailey Circus has two afternoon performances a day the weekend of October 15-16.
Relatedly, it depresses the shit out of me when stadium names get sold to the richest corporation, ferfucksake.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There's a new Boston Garden?

There's a TD BankNorth Garden. Which everyone calls the Garden/Boston Garden, but it's a huge and possibly irrational thing of mine.

Because books.
TD Bank, I think.

I remember when that was the Fleet Center. I didn't know it had been renamed.

Yeah, banks? Not actually as eternal an institution as we once thought!

Well, TD Bank Garden, but they still call it the Garden (damn, I took too long posting!), so wikipedia tells me. Modern day. June.
(ita, close your eyes)
I just want to have it there in the background, something they're hearing from a nearby shop, so that when I get a character actually in it, it'll be known that it's a sports/concert arena, and I'll get to be punny about it being a reference to the Garden in Supernatural's Heaven without having to stop and explain the building too much.
For some random reason (mostly so I don't get called out on inaccuracies) I've been going out of my way to not actually outright say the story is set in Boston (also so that I don't get too hung up on details while still drawing on what's there and what I remember growing up near there).

But you're totally right - it's not the Garden.

Because books.
Everything has a name/corporate sponsor now, and I hate it, too. But I try to console myself by thinking of things like Schlitz Playhouse of Stars and the like.

"...he joined him at the window booth at Halftime Pizza across from the Garden."
Is that clear enough?
And this is why I'm so slow, the things I get hung up on.
