Alumni Stadium Hotels & Accommodation

Boston is a fairly small city, which has the benefit that most attractions and go-to places are within close range.

📍 Where To Stay

First-timers in Boston may want to stay in the downtown/waterfront area as you’ll be within very close quarters of most of the famous landmarks and tourist attractions. The area is great for its picturesque walks and abundance of bars and restaurants to choose from. Plus, the waterfront’s good range of hotels mean you should be able to find one that suits your budget.

If you’re looking to immerse yourself in Boston’s history, try staying in or around Beacon Hill and Back Bay. Known for their redbrick paths and Victorian townhouses, staying here will be more expensive, but it is an amazing place to spend time in.

About Alumni Stadium

Alumni Stadium is an American football stadium located on the campus of Boston College in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts. The venue serves as the home ground for the Boston College Eagles football team.

📜 History

Alumni Stadium was opened in 1957 to replace the first football venue at Boston College, Alumni Field, which had been in use since 1915. Although expansions had increased Alumni Field's spectator capacity from 2,200 to 25,000, the original stadium was still too small.

In the 1969 season, the Boston Patriots of the American Football League used Alumni Stadium as their home ground.

From December to March, when the stadium is no longer in regular use for college football, a 65 ft inflatable vinyl bubble covers the field so that it can be used as a practice ground. This has taken place since 1998.
