A little back history on the Hancock Tower...
A while back, the Hancock tower had some problems with wind. Apparently the high winds in the area would cause the tower to sway in such an extreme manner that it would cause the windows to fall out. To solve the problem, they gathered a group of engineers to figure out how to alleviate the problem.
What did they come up with for a solution?
They eliminated the top floor...put in some train tracks, and placed a counterweight on wheels on those tracks so that when the wind forces the building to sway in one direction, the weight moves in the opposite direction.
If you can find the correlation between the last number, and the height of the top floor...we might have an answer. Train tracks, counterweights, etc...

Brilliant Andy, thanks for the insight (I'd give you rep if it wasn't for the fact that, you know, I already gave you some earlier). I really think you hit on something BIG here...

Anyway, I thought it was interesting to start off with 342.24026 as a temperature (in Kelvin of course), so
342.24026 kelvin = 69.09026 degrees Celsius
I don't know, what you can do with that but I thought it was interesting, maybe there was a day that had that temperature that has signifigance? Or maybe someone on the GDC wants everyone to know more about global warming. This hint is starting to remind me the one that corresponded to Triple Play, quirky stuff.
The relation of Trinity Church to National Treasure, I think there maybe something to come out of that, like the fact there will yet again be three teams on an alliance. A few random facts about the history of the church,
Maybe one of those two facts can lead to something, if not it's odd history.
Oh and as an Art History Geek, the Church is in a Romanesque Style, which means the arches are rounded, maybe that has something to do with the field.

THE WATER GAME CONNECTION!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!
So Trinity Church and Copley Square are located in the Back Bay Section of Boston and for those of you who do not know what that means....
Back Bay is a section of Boston that used to be the Back Bay of the City....before they filled it in with Dirt, Clay, Mud, Rocks, and whatever else they could find.
So that means...the game starts in water, and they fill it in with a bunch of stuff. Then as the temperatures begin to rise (see the first thing I stated, about global warming) the environment on the field changes and all of a sudden it goes back to a water game, so teams are challenged to stop the water from coming back and flooding the game area again, kind of like preventing global warming.
Ok I'm done, yeah I looked up the coordinates of the numbers in different orders, looks like I stumbled upon a Red Herring several times. Have fun figuring this one out!

You're crazy Conor.
But again, that's why I love ya...
Personally, the big things that matter (IMHO)....
a.) Hancock Tower's Engeering Problems
b.) Direction points to Manchester
c.) Tracks
