“This place is amazing from The best customer service I have ever had, as well as the knowledge. For my son is a goalie and I don’t know much about lacrosse. He didn’t try to sell me things that my son did not need like a lot of places will do. And his emergency stringing service is absolutely amazing my son has his back in a couple days mind you, he must be stringing at least 10 a day. if your son or Daughter plays lacrosse or you play lacrosse this is the place to go.”
“This store has a decent inventory. They are trying to work out some kinks in pricing and programs. After using their demo program which afforded me the ability to try different types of skis this season, I was frustrated at what felt like negotiating final cost of price of purchasing a final setup I chose. However, the manager was super nice and explained what’s going on. His bedside manner and another employees (Skye) left me feeling alright about the overall experience-and the final deal felt comfortable for me. A nice spot on a bit of a learning curve.”
“Nice place, staff was attentive and helpful. We forgot cleats at home and they were able to find us something in our daughter's size. Glad we came to Sports Etc.”
“I love marathon sports! They were so patient and thoughtful and really explained to me the reasons why I needed arch support. Super helpful! Thank you for making buying shoes so easy!!”
“Very high quality and excellent customer service. I had an issue with my ski Jacket, Anya was very helpful and she helped me take care if it through warranty. They make you feel valued by protecting your investment in their product.”
“My favorite store for cards. Mark the store owner has the most competitive prices i have seen in the area as well as being a great guy. Hes got everything from Magic, pokemon, one peice, lorcana and all sorts of sports cards and memorabilia.”
“Oliver took the time to help me find the perfect running shoe for my needs. He prioritized me and made me feel as if I was the only customer in the store. I ended up buying sneakers, which are the second pair I’ve bought from this store. Always a great experience and I’ll continue to go back”
“Fast splits is the only bicycle store I shop at! Brian and Jesse are alway incredible to work with and are quite honestly, the only two people I trust to work on my bicycles. They are incredibly knowledgeable and are genuinely there to help make your life on a bicycle better and easier!”

“Great experience here.
They take your time to measure your feet and walking/running habits to find your best fit. I wish I got the gentleman’s name who assisted me this afternoon (4/6) but he was so personable and easy to work with. Totally would come back!”
“Wonderful experience great to do with experience individual and inexperienced individuals looking for an escape with nature and enjoy the view and challenges to kayak throughout the entire river this is a must try bring plenty of water so you won’t dehydrate after your done you can eat out at Near by restaurant”
“I had two amazing sneaker-buying experiences at Marathon Sports in Lexington this week. Jackson spent at least 1.5 hours helping my daughter pick out the right combination of shoes and inserts for her feet. He was so knowledgeable and patient, such a great listener, and made feel super comfortable with the process. This experience was so positive that I came back the next day for myself, and Abbi was equally awesome! Thanks for some of the best customer service I’ve experienced in my 50+ years…”
“This place is great! Perfect for all ages! There’s at least 15 Lanes, I don’t know exactly, I just left for the first time. I’d recommend it to anyone! Weather your age 5-15ish they have slow speed pitching machines, also baseball pitching machines that probably go at least 80-85mph. BOOK AHEAD OF TIME! You’ll be way better off booking early because it does fill up on weekends, today I went with my niece, and I booked 1 hour. It’s $50 for 1 hour. Go and have a blast!”

“TD Garden is one of the most iconic sports and concert venues in Boston, and it really delivers that big-city arena energy whether you’re there for a game or a show.
The venue itself is massive but pretty well organized, with clear signage and staff helping direct crowds efficiently. Entry can get a bit hectic right before major events, but once you’re inside, the flow moves smoothly and it’s easy to find your section or grab concessions.
The atmosphere is definitely the highlight. When it’s a Celtics or Bruins game, the crowd energy is intense in the best way. For concerts, the arena transforms well, and even upper-level seats still give a solid view of the stage thanks to the way the seating is angled. We had lodge seats for the TWICE concert, and it felt uncrowded and perfect with no obstructions.
Food and drinks are what you’d expect from a major arena: convenient but on the pricey side. There are plenty of options though, so you’re not stuck with just the basics. Lines can build up during intermissions or halftime, so timing definitely matters.
One thing TD Garden does well is accessibility. It’s directly connected to North Station, which makes getting in and out by train super easy compared to most large venues. That alone makes a big difference when the event ends and everyone is leaving at once.
Whether you’re catching a Celtics game, a Bruins matchup, or a big-name concert, it’s a venue you won't be disappointed with.”
“Legit is a gem of a store, I love coming into this shop and finding cute items that are carefully curated. We created these beachy/summer themed balloons as an eye catching display for their storefront! Highly recommend visiting this shop anytime you're in the area because there's always something new to find there.”
“One of the best services I have experienced. It happened that I was served by Nayquan - exceptional approach, professional assistance and good sense of humor. Highly recommend shop and try to get Nayquan to help you. Thanks, Darius”
“Extremely knowledgeable staff who will work with you to find the right shoe. great return policy give you confidence that you can try a pair out (indoors) until you find the right one.”
“Came in yesterday to look at Ski Boots and Jared helped a ton and explained so much. He found me a great pair which unfortunately weren’t in stock but found them on your website and I ordered them same day. Will definitely be back.”
“I think I prefer this place better than the other guys. The staff was very personable and helpful. The store is well laid out, and for their size, they seem to have plenty of inventory. Plus they gave me a nice military discount on my new 7 wood!”
“I've been doing business with these amazing folks and this absolutely amazing place for over 20 years. I will never go anywhere else
Everything I've ordered has arrived on time, & is packaged well. They're wonderful to work with. I always order by phone. Great staff, knowledgeable and friendly.”

“Amazing staff. Gorgeous store. They help with new gear and also manage repairs incredibly well. The store has been there forever and it’s maintained beautifully and immaculately by Banshee.”
“A go-to for sporting goods and sneakers. Supply lots of school teams. Very friendly and helpful staff. It’s not large, but I like that. I don’t feel overwhelmed with the selection.”
“They sold us non-matching skis. We went back with the receipt 3 weeks later and they refused to take them back because they were a matching set. At the end of the season they again refused them because the skis didn’t match. We never used them.
Update: the manager and I had a discussion and they’ve agreed to give us store credit. I’m happy with the overall outcome.”
“Have gotten several jerseys designed and ordered here in the past. Rob is very knowledgeable and responsive. The entire process has typically been under 2 months from initial reach out to delivery”

“There were a lot of options! This isnt the place to shop for plus sized people. The gear is great but the clothes dont go past mid-size unless you're a man of course!”
“Great sports store. They have the expertise to guide your sports journey regardless whether you are beginner or professional level. Hockey, baseball, lacrosse and more..”
“I don’t tend to write reviews, but I came to visit Boston for the first time in 10 years and the customer service here was phenomenal (especially with how weak it is everywhere else).
When I walked in Connor (sorry if I got his name wrong) immediately greeted me and showed me to their popular items. I went in just wanting a World Cup shirt but ended up walking out with a shirt for me and another one for my girlfriend after I got convinced. I wanted more but my bank account wouldn’t like that. Conner was super friendly and helpful, and made sure to show me different items in the store I wanted to buy, though I did wanna buy everything.
Outside of that, the store in general was easily the coolest stuff at the market. I grew up a big Boston sports fan, Bird specifically when I was a kid so to see all the cool memorabilia supporting that era truly made my day.
I got the website so I will be ordering from you guys in the future! I truly recommend this place to anyone it was so cool.”
“…, Finally, Knowledgeable, For anything you ask if it’s something you don’t need or you don’t know they will have an option for you and they will explain to you. Why is good, or why is not good for you, What works and what works the best !!!
However, I have been going to the store for more than 10 years and I’m not talking about others location I’m just talking about that exact location in Burlington ????”
“Didn't get what I wanted. Sold out with all the fishing around Boston the larger fish hooks were sold out but this is the same everywhere but they are well stocked on everything else, and I do get my fishing licenses there all the time.”
