Tigers at Boston College -- transport options
Jul 9, 2012, 8:43 PM
|

Looking to fly into the game at BC from Mich with the wife & kids. Anyone have advice on ease of transport around the city? Can you take the subway from the hotel to the stadium? It's been years since I was in Boston and would rather not rent a car. I seem to recall the subway was a good option. We'll probably stay at the Marriott for the package thru Premiere Sports. Is it worth it to go with their ground transport to/from the game?

subway to Chestnut Hill. I seem to remember it being a 20-30 minute ride with a ton of Clemson fans. The ride back sucked after being robbed in a 34-33 double OT loss.

As was I. Only thing that it bearable was the fact that most Bostonians don't give a flip about BC football and probably had no idea that we even played much less that BC won.

That's true. I remember when we first got to Boston

we were walking around town in our Clemson orange. There were a LOT of Clemson fans there for that game. I heard someone say, "Why are all these people wearing orange". Most of them had no idea Clemson was playing BC a couple of days later.

Been twice to games and going again this year.
You can take the subway from the airport to your hotel but with kids and luggage, I would get a cab.
From there you can walk or take cabs anywhere.
Bring your orange - you will be surprised how many other fans you'll see.
Far and away my favorite away game.

We' ve traveled with Premeire sports many times and used their bus to the stadium in Boston. It worked really well for us and you know exactly where to be and when to be there. Even the Boston fans were pretty gracious where we were. Only the score sucked. (2010)

I went to 2 games, stayed once at the Marriott Longwharf and the other the Marriott Copley place. Both were nice and had their advantages. Never needed a car to see anything while we were there. BC is the last stop on one of the subway lines and literally drops you off right near the stadium. It is a bit of a ride out there so allow yourself time, but if you're looking for a cheaper trip outside of premiere travel that's probably the way to go!

there are a lot of stops from downtown out to BC, so allow yourself extra time, but the kids enjoyed it. It was an easy walk to the stadium from the stop.
Around Boston you do not need a car - subways or just plain walking are the best alternative.

If you have a car, finding parking will be a complete nightmare and all of the hotels will charge you upwards of $50.00 per day to park. The trains will take you anywhere you want to go (including the game), it is very reasonably priced, and it's safe.

town, and to the game. They have them lined up after the game so you can get out fast if you want to.
BC is my favorite round game. Love the town.
