Shawmut Center
Shawmut Bank bank merged with Fleet Bank and the Shawmut name was dropped from the combined company.
Shown here is a 1994 photo taken during the construction of the new arena.
FleetCenter
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.
