Boston Marathon Party at Fenway Park - Is there any reason to drag myself to it the night of the race?

Yes. Who do you have a better shot of impressing and getting laid with? A random person at a bar? Or a fellow marathoner at a bar?

That being said, you may not want to have sex with a marathon finisher - I think it's a sign of of mental illness.

It's Just a ploy to get you to spend another night of money in the area.

It's not even a park, it's a stadium. Go figure.

Yes, it is precisely that - an opportunity to buy an amstel light and hot dog for $25 without seeing a baseball game. I personally prefer other spots. You can find me at the harpoon brewery, all killer no filler there.

I ran my first Boston in October and this event was cancelled. I’m planning on going this time because it’s close to my hotel and I’ve never been in Fenway. Seems like it would be a cool experience.

I’ve run it 6 times and never did any of that organized party stuff. I go to the expo for about an hour and that’s about it as far as organized activities related to the race.

If I’m going to spend money, I’d rather go to a great Italian spot in North End or a lobster roll near the Harbor with my wife. There’s a couple great sushi restaurants in Boston also. You’ll see runners anywhere you go and most people are excited to talk about the race and running in general.

I guess you just never know. I promised myself not to get into any Facebook political discussions with crazy right wing lunatics. I was drawn into one and it was me and this woman I didn't know getting snowflaked by a group of clueless, overweight, gun toting "macho" men.

After the argument she messaged me, we talked and talked, we met in person a few times.

That was about 16 months ago. We're together now, we may get married some day.

Go check out some of the better more historical spots, not that Fenway isn't cool just won't be the same at this thing. Union Oyster house, Bell in Hand Tavern (Sam Adams makes a beer just for them and it's amazing). A lot of bars and fun stuff to do in that area, and there will be no shortage of runners around there.

Lots of great places to go that night, but Fenway is not one of them.

Go to Trillium.

Can we do a go fund me to get Jamin in to this?

I’m going for the exact reason that I can see Fenway without having to pay to watch the Red Sox!

People pay $25 bucks for tours of Fenway Park. This thing's free and, while you don't get a guided tour, you do get to hang out on the warning track.

Bell in Hand Tavern, by the way, looks pretty much like every faux Irish pub you've ever been to.

NO ! Bogus.

No. They (over) charge for beer. So, No reason EXCEPT if it's your dream to walk on the warning track or sit in the stands. On the other hand, I believe I read they're giving out AG awards or, at least, announcing the top 3 in each AG (male and female) at Fenway. Have to double check on BAA site but I thought I saw it there. So if that's in the cards for you
(you're in the top 3), head on over, I presume. But double check they're doing that.

Nevertheless, it's not worth it especially if the weather's not good. Go out and have a great dinner WITH your medal on. Bostonians are great and appreciate any runner that has finished the Boston Marathon.

Went to Trillium on my first time out to Boston. Great visit. Went to Night Shift last time and enjoyed it as well.

Is Sam Adams still doing an after-party?

Not wrong but it is the America's oldest continuously operating tavern...I liked it.

Fenway Park is an old dump that cannot possibly offer a 21st Century level of comfort and convenience as a sports and entertainment venue.

Avoid.
