Boston sports have a significant economic impact, and the Boston Marathon marks the beginning of a robust visitor season for the city. Thousands of runners and their families are expected to travel to Boston due to the playoffs starting for the Bruins and Celtics, with potential deep playoff runs sparking excitement and anticipation at TD Garden. The marathon alone is estimated to have an economic impact of around $150 million, with businesses like “Sauce” inside Hub Hall in TD Garden gearing up to capitalize on increased foot traffic. Mayor Michelle Wu’s decision to close Canal Street to traffic on game days will create a pedestrian hub, allowing businesses like Hurricane’s at the Garden to accommodate more fans and boost revenue. Overall, the combination of the Boston Marathon and playoffs for the Bruins and Celtics is creating a buzz in the city, with businesses and fans alike eagerly looking forward to the economic and entertainment benefits these events bring.
