NASA and The Blue Alliance will be providing a webcast of the event.

There will be a chatroom and embedded video player on a webpage, much like the Waterloo ustream.tv setup, only with much better video quality :)

If you want something a bit higher than Taco Bell (~shudder~) there is the Sunset Cantina* across the street. It does takeout or eat-in and the portions are big and good. My boss goes there for lunch all the time, and it's where we have our "office parties", but only because it's right outside our back door.

*Don't worry about the "Restaurant Closed" on the website -- it means it opens at 11:30am.

Where is everyone going to park now that the parking lot is a building? (Don't worry - the parking garage is still there.) But it was amazing how fast that thing went up...or maybe time just went really fast. I thought construction was just starting around the time of last year's event.

See post #7. The "T" (MBTA) has the Boston College "B" line of the Green line goes out Comm Ave. If you're coming from Amtrak you can get off at Back Bay and walk up to Copley OUTBOUND and catch the trolley from there. From South Station you take the Red Line up to Park Street and transfer to the Green Line. Make sure it's the "B" trolley OUTBOUND. Not to Government Center.

If you do get off at Back Bay, you'll walk past the park with The Hint (42.349905, -71.076072, 342,242026) in front of Trinity Church.

By the way, the trolley is the "public transportation" to get to the Science Museum, but if your coming from the competition, you'll have to transfer at Govt Center to the E line, which is the only one that continues to the museum stop. (Or at least, that was the way it was the last time I took it a couple years ago.)
