Getting There

The absolute best way to get to Fenway is to take the "T" to Kenmore Square off the Green Line. Make your way to the Park Street station and you can take any train on the Green Line except for the E train. Tokens are $1.25 each and it is best to buy two at once; one for the trip to the park and one for the trip home. Leave yourself some extra time getting in because, as game time approaches, the cars get VERY crowded and seating is limited. Another option is to take the communter rail to Yawkey Station, which is in easy walking distance to the park. A third option is to take a shuttle bus, free of charge with a ticket to the game, from Ruggles Station located on the Orange Line.

If you must drive to Fenway, be sure to leave with plenty of time to spare. Traffic begins to back up on local streets about one hour before games officially start, especially on Brookline Avenue, Beacon Street, and Commonwealth Avenue approaching Fenway Park, Kenmore Square, and Storrow Drive heading towards Kenmore Square. Weeknight games can be especially challenging, according to one of our readers, Aaron from Boston; he once needed an hour and 30 minutes to get from Route 93 to Columbus Avenue before a Friday night contest.

Parking also comes at a premium, with most places charging $20 to $30 to park anywhere from 2 to 10 minutes away by foot. You can save a few dollars by parking 20 minutes away at the Prudential Center off Boylston Street for only $10 with a game ticket, although no discount is available for weekday afternoon games. You can also park 15 minutes away at the Boston University Lot on Babcock Street for just $6, but space is limited. Aaron also notes that you can park on Huntington Avenue, so long as you don't mind walking a bit.
