Fenway Park is the home of the Red Sox and also the oldest active baseball park. Fenway Park opened…read morein April 20, 1912 (2nd oldest is Wrigley Field that opened in 1914 and 3rd oldest is the Dodger Stadium that opened in 1962). While visiting Boston, my husband and I took the train to the ballpark and then walked a short reasonable distance to the ballpark. We went through a security check and headed in. Because we had purchased special tickets to get a Red Sox collaboration shirt with their hockey team, Bruins, we were directed to the main store to pickup our shirts. This was really nice because you are able to enter through any gate and then just head to the store to pick up your shirt, which is much easier and more efficient than other baseball parks that we have gone to in the past to pick up special shirts (because those stadiums require that you enter from only one specific gate in order to get those items). After picking up our shirts, we were able to find our seats and sat for a Red Sox vs Kansan City Royals game. And the Red Sox won 5-1. We sat in the Grand Stand, Section 21, Row 16, Seats 11 & 12, which gave us a nice view behind home plate. Also plenty of shade from the sun. Because I knew there would be really long lines for food, we ended up bringing in our own food and water (yes you can bring in outside food and also a plastic bottle of water). Overall, we did enjoy our visit and the game itself. But the only thing that I felt most inconvenient was that there was only one restroom by where we were seating, in which you have go down the stairs to get to them. This ballpark is small so I can see why there is a lack of restrooms, as compared to bigger ballparks.

Love me some Payton Tolle, though!

Which for a venue is insane mismanagement. They have one single 3-foot wide entrance (besides the VIP entrance, which I didn't experience other than to see it similarly lacked signage and coordination). They had zero line management and no signage outside the venue. Once inside, the space was a little calmer, but still had terrible logistics. The bathrooms had no line management, a terrible layout, and lacked signage so people were confused and bumping into each other constantly. The food and drinks were disappointing, but at least they had a few different options. The acoustics and sight lines were decent but the seats were uncomfortable and only 2/3 had cup holders. The worst part is that it seems like this place could be so much better. They have nice staff and they have enough space. It's just being managed terribly.

The Harvard Stadium turned 116 years old this year. It has the distinction of being the oldest permanent concrete structure in intercollegiate sports.

Get a photo op on the field and experience the history of Harvard Football. It's a darn cool place to say you have visited.

Home of the Boston Bruins practices! I had heard about these practices and finally decided to check…read moreit out. There's a schedule for the Bruins practices online, and they are free to attend. When you enter on the first floor, you have to walk up three levels to get to the practice. Elevator did not work for us going upward as you needed a card to unlock it, so beware you'll have to walk up the stairs. Weirdly enough it worked for us going down? On the second level, there's a Pro Shop with Warrior Ice Arena merch, as well as a booth where you can rent skates. On the third floor is where the practice takes place. They also had a snack shop with hot foods, drinks, and snacks available to buy. Didn't get anything but lots of people were. Online the practice said it began at 11am and finished at 1pm. We got there a few minutes past 11 and the B's had already begun. 12pm rolled around and everyone started to leave the ice. All of us in the stands were confused as the website said they practiced for another hour. Didn't know if they went to take a break, or if it finished early. I asked a lady working at the rink and she told me since it was a game day, practices are optional for the team and most days they don't run until 1pm anyway. I know it's their practice but you really are just a spectator. They make no announcements, and the rink doesn't interact with fans (except to give a kid an occasional hockey puck). I wish there was a little more structure from the actual ice rink. They invite fans to come but we're left up in limbo...just a pre-recorded announcement over the loud speaker, "hey practice is over now, thanks for coming, go Bruins" would suffice. Parking is iffy as there's 2 hour free parking on the streets, or $20 flat fee on weekends in the garages. We thought the practice would be longer so we parked in the garage. But now knowing it might end early, free street parking would've worked just fine. As for the rink, I can't speak to the other things they offer, but just walking through I noticed signs for public skate, skate rental, skating classes for kids and adults, and even birthday parties. Anyway it's still a cool experience either way. Now knowing it's more chill and can end early, I'd be more prepared for next time.

It was awesome to see all the excitement! Food was pretty good, my boyfriend got meatballs in sauce which he liked a lot. I got a steak and cheese which was just ok but good. Prices were reasonable! The stadium itself is really cool too, looks newly remodeled. It was beautiful to see everyone come together to remember Welles and all the other lives lost that day. They gave out bandanas too so everyone could show their support. Taking the train home was pretty easy too, just a short walk away from the stadium. Overall fun experience here!

Saw Boston College take on the University of Miami at Alumni Stadium on a brisk Friday evening…read more Despite long lines managed to grab a beer during halftime, but did not order any food. Quality I spent many Saturdays cheering for the Eagles football team during my college years and it was a blast coming back. For an exciting televised match-up, fans from both teams packed the stadium creating one of the best atmospheres I could remember at Alumni Stadium. However, even on days when the stadium is empty for a dud of a game, it still makes for a fun afternoon. The one caveat is always the weather, which can quickly ruin a good time. Quantity Alumni Stadium has a capacity of around 45,000, but you will hardly ever see it close to that packed. It does not compete with some of the mega stadiums around college football, but it ensures everyone has a good view of the action. Value Even for the bigger games, tickets are not too hard to come by and usually are reasonably priced. It usually is a matter of how well the opposing team travels. Beers and food are overpriced in the stadium, but that is to be expected. Ambiance Alumni Stadium sits on the Boston College Chestnut Hill campus right outside the city of Boston. It is strictly a college stadium and serves a smaller campus population, so does not compare to the mega stadiums for professional teams or many public universities. Its most recent renovations came in 1995, but the stadium has been maintained well and still feels relatively new. Massive screens on the ends make sure you can enjoy the game regardless of where you sit, but most seats keep you close to the field. Proximity of the field to the nearby reservoir does create a breeze, which on already cool days can feel even cooler. Just make sure to dress warm. Crowd The stadium is often empty for Saturday afternoon kickoffs, but for a big game under the lights the place was rocking. Unfortunately the stadium was not ready for the big crowd, and limited bathrooms and concession stands meant lines stretching around the stadium. However, the fans are some of the most laid-back and polite people you will meet at a college football game. Service While Alumni Stadium is a modern facility, it struggles with large crowds. Even with staff working fast and hard, lines quickly form near the concessions areas. The good things are they are adept at getting folks into the stadium quickly and despite the more crowded game, the bathrooms were kept in good shape. Parking The campus has limited parking on an average day, so during football games things get out of hand. Car service companies or public transportation are the better options to get to and from the stadium. Extra Even as a graduate of Boston College with many fond memories, I have no illusion that Alumni Stadium is a great place to see a game. However, it gets the job done and the friendly fans make it a fun atmosphere to enjoy some football.
