World Cup Driving/Parking Experience (Haiti v Scotland)

MBTA/Transit 🚇 🔥

TLDR: Driving >> train

For context I live less than ten minutes from the Dedham Corporate Center commuter rail station (but inside the 95 loop); 16 miles from the stadium. So a bit different for someone leaving from closer to the South Station. I’d love to hear the perspective from those who took the train (as well as other drivers)

Here’s my timeline:

6:50p - left my house
7:37p - Parked car
8:19p - Entered stadium
The worst part was getting into the stadium. Much room for improvement on organization and signage.

11:12 - I left my seat (stayed a few minutes after to enjoy the post game antics; The Tartan Army are a hilarious bunch!)
11:28 - Reached my car
11:54 - Entered my home

The reduction in parking spots was evident from the exit. I’ve never left an event at Gillette so quickly.

Fuck FIFA and fuck the MBTA and fuck anyone who defends either. So glad I drove, only wish I purchased my parking earlier instead of waiting until they announced the T prices so I could’ve got parking for $150.
