The TD Garden has launched "Operation Rafter Relocation" this week to temporarily remove the Celtics and Bruins banners from the TD Garden while the arena hosts the NCAA Eastern Regional College Basketball Finals on March 22 and 24. The banners were brought to The Salvation Army Ray & Joan Kroc Corps Community Center in Dorchester Tuesday and will bring the city's two most recent banners from the Celtics and Bruins into the local communities for the remainder of the week through a social media fan campaign that determines the location.
Fans have taken to Facebook and Twitter to suggest locations for the two banners and the TD Garden has determined Norwood High School and Children's Hospital Boston as the early winners.
