1924 Boston Arena Single Seat - First Home of the Boston Bruins
The world's oldest ice hockey arena and one of the nation's exemplary athletic facilities is Matthews Arena, formerly the Boston Arena. The Boston Arena's chronology reads like a Who's Who in American sports, and starts with ground-breaking on Oct. 11, 1909. Legendary pugilists Jack Dempsey, Gene Tunney and Joe Louis graced ringside, Paavo Nurmi ran at the Arena in a BAA track meet, and Olympian Henie wove her magic-on-blades to phonograph music. The Boston Bruins played their first home game in the building and defeated the Montreal Maroons, 2-1, on Dec. 1, 1924. The arena has also played host to such professional hockey teams as the Boston Olympics, Whalers, Tigers and Cubs. Even the great Babe Ruth, then a young lefthanded pitcher for the Red Sox, was a frequent visitor to the Arena. The Sultan of Swat passed idle time in the winter by playing in hockey scrimmages with the Arena A.C. team. The old ice house that gave birth to the Boston Bruins, the Boston Olympics and the New England Whalers also was the cradle of high school and college hockey in Greater Boston. This ancient wood slat chair was in place in 1924 for the first Bruins game. All original floor-mount chair with red painted back slat and stenciled "6". In near excellent and original condition.
