Getting to the stadium

Stadium is actually in Foxborough, MA — about 30 miles south of Boston. Commuter rail from South Station runs special match-day service. Plan 90 min downtown-to-stadium.

Where to stay

Downtown Boston (Back Bay, Seaport) for atmosphere; Foxborough/Norwood for stadium proximity but no nightlife.

Fan Festival & watch parties

Boston Common — central downtown public viewing during the tournament. Most are free public viewing — the cheap alternative to a $2,000+ ticket. Match-day capacity at the FIFA Fan Festival in each host city is in the tens of thousands.

Where to eat

Union Oyster House, Mike's Pastry (North End cannoli), Eventide Fenway, Quincy Market.
