Does anyone know if the MBTA commuter rail will be running Saturday for the home opener? Any information (price, times, or websites to check) is appreciated! We will be coming from Cambridge. On a different note, does anyone have suggestions for things to do on Patriot's Day? We'll be in Boston Saturday through Monday.
Commuter rails to my knowledge still no logner run down to the Borro for Revs games. Simply not enough demand. Thewere was talk of starting up some kind of bus service to the stadium from Boston proper but I'm not sure if that ever got worked out. I would have to say that I doubt that it did. What to do on Patriots Day? I'm kind of confused. On Patriots Day in Boston it's usually a matter of finding a way to get away from, out of and around things to do.
Oh, I don't know...something about world class marathon runners, thousands of fans lining the streets, libations flowing freely and the only morning game in all of baseball featuring the most heated rivalry in all of the major sports. Not much happening on Patriots day downtown...
On a different note, does anyone have suggestions for things to do on Patriot's Day? We'll be in Boston Saturday through Monday. Yankess vs. Red Sox at Fenway over the weekend, including Sunday... Boston Marathon on Monday... Sounds like the weather's going to be nice... ... lots of things to check out and or do. The Magpie
Absolutely. DO NOT under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES travel into the city by car. Especially not on that day. Usually around holidays there are historical cosplayers near the major common attractions, Haymarket, Government Center...it can be fun to interact with them (ie, pester them about cell phones, the internet, etc.).
So, tickets for the Red Sox game should be easy to find, I'll check it out. I know there is a lot to do, I'm just having a hard time finding a good resource to plan my trip. I thought some of you on the boards might recommend places to go.(Like best place to watch the marathon, where to find the freely flowing libations, etc) I'm planning on the Rev game (first priority!) then checking out the House of Blues at some point, but after that the trip is open for suggestions. I do appricate all of your recommendations.
Well, regular tickets for the Yankees series are sold out. You may be able to get tickets through replay (program that resells unused season tickets): http://replay.tickets.com/buy/TicketResaleServlet?supplier_code=RSEN&orgid=21714&agency=MLBEN_RSOX It costs 50 dollars a year to have a replay tickets account though, and you have to have an account to buy tickets.
Yes, HOB Cambridge closed in September. Allegedly they're looking into buying a larger venue in Boston. Hasn't happened yet.
....non sports? there's always the reenactment of the battle of lexington on the lexington green (5:30 AM start on 4/19)....and of course paul revere's ride into lexington from boston down mass ave i believe.
Thanks Thanks for all the information gang. I'm disappointed about the HOB, but the reenactments sound like fun, and will try to catch some of the marathon. See ya at the game. (Hopefully, I'll see most of our starters!! Stupid injuries)
