Hello all ... Sorry it's taken so long to send this out, but due to a variety of issues, we've been a bit delayed on the MLS Cup Planning. Anyway, here's the information for the MLS Cup Hotel that will be hosting the Summit. We were able to only save 30 rooms for now, but if we need more, we can try and get some. Four Points Sheraton Norwood 1125 Boston-Providence Highway (Rt.1 South) Phone: 781-769-7900 Fax: 781-551-3552 3:00 check in/12:00 check out *Each room has queen beds (ask how many when you reserve) *$109 single/$119 double ($125/$135 regular rates) *Price includes a buffet breakfast *Must reserve by 9/21/02 *Commuter rail is 3 min away, $6 round trip shuttle is available *It's only 20 minutes to Boston from the hotel. If you call to reserve, please ask for the Midnight Riders rate. We know people are a bit worried about the price of this hotel, but it's the best rate we could find at a hotel near the stadium/Boston and get a group rate. MLS Cup this year is the same weekend as the Head of the Charles Regatta, which annually brings in tens of thousands of visitors to Boston. So hotel rooms are at a premium. Considering that the Summit will be held at this hotel, this seemed the best hotel to offer the group rate at (and breakfast is included!). We are also exploring the idea of a bus/van to transport people back to the hotel once the Bash on Saturday night (which will be held in Boston) is over. Most likely, there will be a small charge to help us cover the cost of the van, but it will be better than a cab back to the hotel, or having to leave 2 hours early due to public transportation. If you have any issues, please email me at monty@themidnightriders.com. Thanx Monty
$75 gets you a room with two queen beds at the Red Roof Inn in Mansfield, only 15-20 minutes from the stadium and 20+ minutes to Providence (which is the official "host city" this year and where MLS stuff will be). That cost is for the room and is regardless of how many people you put in there (up to 4). Not the best location for going to the supporters' bash, but it's worth consideration as not everyone goes to the bash.
