What is the best way to get to Fenway Park?

Question

I will be going to a Monday night Red Sox game (first time at Fenway) and would like some advice on the easiest/quickest way there. I will be leaving Newburyport, MA around 4:30-5PM for a 7:00 start. If driving, where's the best area to park?

Answer 1

For heaven's sake, don't drive. I live in the Fenway neighborhood, and it's a total mess around game time. Better to park at one of the remote T stops and take the subway in. If you insist on bringing your car, park in Brookline, as Boston is residents-only. Parking lots near Fenway are $30 and up this season for games.

You want to take a Green Line B, C or D line subway to Kenmore. It's easy to tell which one is Kenmore, as the cars will be packed until that stop, and most people will get out.  

Answer 2

honestly, your best bet is to drive to north station, park there, and take the T in to see the game and back to north station after the game. traffic getting to and leaving a sox game is ungodly; you'll sit in it for at least an hour. just check the T website to make sure they're not running holiday hours that day since it's labor day.

Answer 3

There are lots around the park, if you're ready to spend a lot of money. They're notorious price gougers. Nearby on-street is almost all resident sticker parking only

That said, most garages around town are probably going to run $20+ for that length of time (including North Station - parking there is a stupid idea ... if you want to do something like that, the Cambridgeside Galleria isn't as expensive. If possible, you should consider taking the train instead. It's not super convenient, but driving isn't either.
