After the Fleet-Shawmut merger, the name of the arena was changed to the FleetCenter. The FleetCenter opened on Sept. 30, 1995, two days after the last game played at the old Boston Garden.

The old Boston Garden remained standing for another two and a half years, until demolition on the structure began in April 1998.
