Heading to Boston, MA for a gameday? Dive into our breakdown of what you should do for your upcoming trip.
A private Jesuit research university, Boston College seamlessly blends its rich religious tradition with modern academic achievements. Perched atop Chestnut Hill, the campus boasts a jaw-dropping Gothic architecture that would make even Hogwarts jealous.

Gameday

The Eagles have been flaunting their talons since 1892. Of course, the claim to fame is Doug Flutie’s legendary Hail Mary pass in 1984 still echoes through the hallowed halls, forever sealing the Eagles’ place in college football history.

Ticketing

Every time you use our Ticketmaster, StubHub or TickPick direct links, it’s like tossing a high-five our way with no additional charge for you. You get in the game, and we keep the lights on. It’s a win-win!

Ticketing 101

Like all sporting events, we encourage you to research your seats on a view from my seat.

If you’re a Golden Eagles’ fan or neutral attendee, tickets on the (FILL) are best.

Most BC students have a “Gold Pass” which allows access to every game all year. They sit in Sections (FILL).

Visitors

The Visitor Section fluctuates between (FILL) while the Visitor Sideline is between (FILL).

Our Ticketing Partners

Finding the right seats at the right price can feel like a game all its own, but we’ve got you covered. We proudly recommend Tick Pick for quick pricing transparency and StubHub for their large inventory.

Parking

Parking 101

Robsham Parking Lot

The Robsham Parking Lot is the best place to go for all the biggest tailgates. Most people say that BC is more of a tailgate school than a football school because of the great tailgates that happen in this parking lot!

The Mods

The Mods are the best place to go if you're a student or know someone living there. The former temporary housing from the 70s turned permanent for years to come is right by the stadium so it is very convenient!

Tailgate Traditions

Tailgating 101

Most people say that BC is more of a tailgate school than a football school because of the great tailgates that happen in the parking lots.

The Stadium

Stadium History

Alumni Stadium, the battlefield for the Eagles since 1957, is where Boston’s football magic unfolds. With a seating capacity of over 44,000, it’s intimate enough to feel the pulse of the game but big enough to house the mighty Eagle fandom.

Best Stadium Spots

Best Stadium Food & Drink

It’s rare to find a student that doesn’t leave the student section to grab a hot dog in the middle of the game.

What to Watch For

  • Watch out for the stadium wide rendition of “Mr. Brightside” that happens during every BC game, and make sure you know the lyrics so you can sing along.
