Museum of Science -- Though last year FIRST splurged and got us all in for free on the Friday evening. But a couple of hours (plus everyone jamming the food court) is never enough for the MOS. IMAX and planetarium is extra. Make sure you see the Van de Graaff generator demonstration! Boom! Pow!

MIT Museum -- Never been there but hey, it is MIT.

Faneuil Hall Marketplace is one large food court -- or used to be. I haven't been in there for years.

I'm going to second these. I've been to all of them recently, some more than once (Faneuil Hall is amazing, and so is the Museum of Science.) Also, if you want to explore the city and it's history, consider going on a Duck Tour.

If you, your friends or family members would like to volunteer for the event please encourage them to register in VIMS https://my.usfirst.org/vims/

We're looking forward to another great Boston Regional and having you all there!

Does anyone know what T stop is closer to Agganis Arena? Would that be BU East, BU Central, or BU West?

Edit: Nevermind, I finally found it on a map. For anyone else wondering, BU West is the answer.

Edit 2: Since I thought of this... anyone interested in trading team shirts? If so, PM me.

Just to be even more specific...BU West off of the B trolley on the Green line (there is a B, C, D and E trolley for the green line, make sure your on the B line aka the "Boston College" line)

Of those three stations, yes, BU West is the closest. But the closest station to the Agganis Arena is Pleasant Street, which is the second stop beyond BU West. Here's the MBTA station map of the Green line.

I work across the street from the Agganis, and once upon a time used to take the T. (Now I have a parking spot!) Mind you, any of those stations along Comm Ave and BU is walkable to the Agganis; students walk the length of Comm Ave every day. I've even walked to Pleasant St from Kenmore in a driving snowstorm.

And Blue Man Group!

Howdy everyone,

Just a heads up: if anyone still needs to make hotel reservations, the Courtyard by Marriott in Brookline is only offering its FIRST rate through Monday the 16th. Give them a call and ask about the FIRST group discount if you're still looking for a place to stay. (That hotel is T-accessible to the Arena)
