The dust has settled on the sale of the Celtics, with the Grousbeck family agreeing to sell the team to Bill Chisholm’s group for $6.1 billion on Thursday. However, some questions surrounding the future of the franchise remain.
Arguably the biggest question is if Chisholm will seek to build a new arena for the Celtics. As the franchise currently leases the TD Garden from the Jacobs family and the Bruins, there’s been some speculation that whoever bought the Celtics could build a new area for the team to maximize revenue.
Departing Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck doesn’t see that scenario playing out, though, with Chisholm as the team’s owner.
