Why I'm In Matters

A city is its people. A tournament is its strangers.

The big screens at the official Fan Festival are unforgettable — but the matches you'll remember happen in someone's backyard, on a bar patio, or at a rooftop your friend's friend is hosting. I'm In is how Boston locals open those doors, and how visitors find them.

Boston Field Guide

What the locals actually know.

— TRAVEL

Gillette is in Foxborough, not Boston

Plan ~30 miles (45–75 min) from downtown. Take the Commuter Rail to Foxboro station on matchdays — driving in is the slowest option.

— TICKETS

Use only FIFA.com / FIFA Ticketing

Resale is restricted. Tickets are mobile-only and tied to a FIFA ID.

— WEATHER

Hot, humid, thunderstorm-prone

June–July in MA averages 75–90°F with afternoon storms. Bring a thin rain shell.

— STAY

Sleep on the Commuter Rail line

Back Bay, South Station, Providence, and Mansfield sit on the matchday rail spine — cheaper than airport hotels and faster to the stadium.

— EAT

Map matches to neighborhoods

POR/BRA → Inman Square; MEX/lat-am → East Boston; ITA → North End; ENG/IRL → Dorchester.

— SECURITY

Arrive 3+ hours early

FIFA perimeter screening starts far outside Gillette. Carry a clear bag, no large packs.

— LOCAL

Pair with a Boston day

Use match-free days for Freedom Trail, Fenway, or a Harbor Islands ferry.

— CASHLESS

Tap everywhere

Gillette, Patriot Place, MBTA tap-to-pay, and most bars are card-only.
