The Boston Police will restrict access to Fenway Park at the beginning of the 7th inning.

If you are a ticket holder and choose to exit the park at the 7th inning, you will not be able to return.
The City has had extensive communications with local Universities related to student behavior. Any student arrested will not only face criminal charges, but will also be subject to penalties imposed by their University. We would like to take this opportunity to reach out to parents and ask them to touch base with their sons or daughters who may be headed into the Fenway area this evening.

Our intent is to encourage people to celebrate responsibly and to adhere strictly to all alcohol laws. In addition, officers are working cooperatively with liquor establishments to be sure alcohol laws are strictly enforced. Public drinking will not be tolerated.
Taxis and public transportation offer inexpensive and smart alternatives to drinking and driving. Please take advantage of them. A designated driver is also an alternative. DUI enforcement will be a priority and we will have officers on duty focused specifically on this effort. Do not ruin your celebration by hurting yourself or others.
Be prepared for delays when exiting the area post-game.
The City is also cheering for the Red Sox and hopes for the win! However, our prime focus is that all sports fans enjoy the game and that the City is peaceful and without incident. We will not allow a few excessive revelers to ruin the evening for other fans. We are prepared to take any means necessary to ensure this.
Have fun and be safe!
