The Boston Lobsters are best known as a World TeamTennis franchise with a rich, multi-era history rooted in Boston’s sports scene. From their original start in 1974 as the team that began as the Philadelphia Freedoms before rebranding, through the Boston era from 1975 to 1978, and later a revival run from 2005 to 2015, the Lobsters left an imprint on professional team tennis. They called Walter Brown Arena at Boston University home during the early years and later played at the Manchester Athletic Club during the revival period.
