Whew. Our heads are still spinning over the historic news of Bill Chisholm buying the Celtics for a record $6.1 billion — if it all works out. Our friends at Locked On Celtics have been diving into what this all means and how it marks a new era for Boston basketball.

Meanwhile, we’ve busted out our calculators to crunch the staggering stats and asked ourselves: what could $6.1 billion buy us as Celtics fans? Here’s the score.
  • Based on today’s average price to attend a Celtics game for a party of four — $419.47 — 14,542,160 groups of four could hit up TD Garden.
  • But you’ll wanna live a little: You could rent an $8,000 game day suite at TD Garden 762,500 times.
  • You’ll need new swag: You could buy 50,833,333 Jayson Tatum replica jerseys.
  • And you’ll need to keep the ballers happy: In July 2024, Tatum’s five-year extension contract cost the team a whopping $314 million — you could renew it 19.4 times.
What else could you buy?
