Located on Commonwealth Avenue within Boston University’s John Hancock Student Village, Agganis Arena has been a staple of the city’s entertainment scene since opening in 2005. Named for legendary local athlete Harry Agganis, the multipurpose venue sits in the vibrant Allston-Brighton neighborhood. While it serves as a primary home for collegiate sports, the arena frequently transforms into a premier destination for major touring productions, offering a polished and high-energy environment for fans in the heart of the West End. For comedy lovers, Agganis Arena is a key stop for national tours and large-scale specials. The venue is well-known for hosting the long-running "Comics Come Home" benefit, which has featured icons like Denis Leary and Lenny Clarke. Other major acts, including Jeff Dunham and the cast of "Letterkenny Live," have also brought their unique humor to its stage. With its professional atmosphere, the arena provides a grand setting for catching the industry’s biggest names.
