Former BC, Celtics Star Opening Basketball Club In Stoughton

STOUGHTON, MA — Former Boston College and Boston Celtics star Dana Barros is bringing a new basketball facility to Stoughton.

The selectmen approved a common victualler license for the Dana Barros Basketball Club, to be located at 1776 Washington St. The club currently has a facility in Avon.

During construction, the 35,000-square-foot building received an extra 5,000 square feet to allow for a facility with five basketball courts, offices, concession stands, and event areas. The club will also offer air conditioning, high-tech scoreboards, and video streaming, according to Haynes Group, which is working on construction.

The club expects to be home to several AAU leagues and local basketball clinics.

Club representative Pete Bosader told the selectmen that their grand opening date is Jan. 20.
