My recommendation: Buy a Styrofoam cooler that you can toss, fill it with beer and ice, take the Green Line to the campus (B line if you're coming from Boston, D Line if you park at Riverside), and walk into the campus parking areas and see if you can find any UMass fans. Trying to take a car anywhere near the campus is crazy.

If you know any of the Newton Police you can also get a sweet parking spot on a side street. Otherwise you will be towed.

That's a great point... might have to use that idea.

I need to have the car somewhat accessible... I'm headed out to Springfield immediately after the game. I'll def be making a few calls to see what my best bet is.

The past few times UMass has played at BC, the Alumni Association and/or Athletics rents a dining hall for tailgating. Food included with a cash bar. It was a decent deal in the past. Perhaps it is not traditional tailgating (or what passes for it in a parking garage at BC), but the dining hall keeps out BC fan interlopers.

Not that I have been paying any attention, but, until I just searched, I have seen zero promotion about this event:

Seems low... Wonder if it would have been in the low 20's if not for a blowout win that Vegas thinks the public will see and bite on the points.

Either way, I hope it is a refresher for the team that while last week was as good a start they could have asked for - they are going 0-100 real quick.

The lots they used to use are now condos and office buildings.
