Celtics open Auerbach Center, their new, state-of-the-art practice facility
The Boston Celtics just made a power move, literally.
The team has moved to the new, state-of-the-art practice facility, located at Boston Landing near the Boston Turnpike.
It's absolutely massive - 70,000 square feet - with more amenities than pretty much anything I've ever seen before.
The facility, called "Auerbach Center" after the team's legendary General Manager and coach Red Auerbach, has not one but two regulation-size basketball courts for the team to practice on, completely modern recovery, strength and conditioning facilities, a "nap" room - even a pool table!
There's a barbershop, kitchen, dedicated film room, a hospitality area, multiple pools, and a 40-foot glass window that lets passers-by on the pike see the facility as they travel through the area.

Randy Auerbach, Red Auerbach's daughter, joked about the Celtics' new practice facility, "I live in Los Angeles. I don’t think the Lakers have anything like this."— Fred Katz (@FredKatz) June 19, 2018
The Celtics unveiled "The Auerbach Center" this morning.
Not a hard news tweet, people. Just having some fun... Everyone on the roster at the end of this past season has a locker. (But if Marcus doesn't get to use his, it's fair to say Brad Stevens will be quite upset.) https://t.co/qmnqSMHyv8— Steve Bulpett (@SteveBHoop) June 19, 2018
One little thing Celtics coach Brad Stevens likes about the new place: A dedicated video room for film sessions. pic.twitter.com/U3ODGXKThH— Chris Forsberg (@ESPNForsberg) June 19, 2018
