The Auerbach Center, Basketball practice facility in Brighton, Massachusetts, US
The Auerbach Center is a basketball training facility in Brighton that forms part of the Boston Landing development. The building contains two parquet-floored courts on its upper levels, along with medical examination rooms, therapy pools, weight training areas, and sports performance laboratories.
The facility was built between 2016 and 2018 as a dedicated training center for the Boston Celtics. Its construction marked a significant investment in the team's operations and the broader Boston Landing development project.
Named after legendary coach Red Auerbach, the facility displays its basketball courts through a massive glass wall facing the highway, letting passing drivers and pedestrians catch glimpses of the action. This openness reflects how the Celtics remain part of the community rather than hidden away.
The facility is located within a modern development area with good public transit access. Visiting on weekdays typically offers the best chance of seeing active training sessions.
The continuous glass frontage allows highway commuters to watch professional athletes training in real time, making it one of the few elite facilities openly visible to passing traffic. This transparent design creates an unexpected intimacy between world-class players and everyday travelers.
