Local Area Guide

Matthews Arena Travel Guide

We built this guide so your team doesn't have to figure it all out from a Google search. Neighborhoods, restaurants, game day logistics, local tips — it's all here.

Welcome to Matthews Arena, a historic Boston venue primarily serving Northeastern University's hockey and basketball programs, along with a variety of other sporting events and concerts. This guide is designed for visiting teams, their families, fans, and event attendees looking to navigate the arena and its surrounding Fenway/Sudbury area. You’ll find practical information on getting around, timing your arrival, dining options, and local amenities to help make your visit as smooth and enjoyable as possible.

Section 01

Neighborhood Overview

Matthews Arena is strategically located in Boston's vibrant Fenway-Sudbury neighborhood, an area known for its mix of educational institutions, sports facilities, and residential streets. It’s easily accessible via major roadways like the Massachusetts Turnpike (I-90) and Huntington Avenue (MA-103), though city traffic can be a significant factor, especially during peak hours or large event days. Public transportation is an excellent alternative; the MBTA's Green Line (Symphony or Massachusetts Ave stations) and several bus routes serve the immediate vicinity, offering a convenient way to bypass driving and parking challenges. For those flying in, Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) is approximately a 15-20 minute drive away, depending heavily on traffic. When planning your arrival, factor in extra time for potential road construction, event congestion, and the need to find parking, often aiming to arrive at least 45-60 minutes before game time or your event's start. Rideshare services are also readily available but can experience surge pricing and longer wait times immediately following major events.

Section 02

Where to Stay

The area around Matthews Arena is dense with hotels, ranging from budget-friendly options to more upscale accommodations, largely clustered along the Fenway corridor and towards the Back Bay. Northeastern University itself is a hub, and many visitors opt for hotels within walking distance or a short transit ride to minimize travel stress. Common choices for visiting teams and their families include properties that offer easy access to the arena, are family-friendly, and provide convenient dining options. Demand for lodging here spikes significantly during home game weekends for Northeastern, major tournaments, or significant concerts. To secure the best rates and availability, it's highly recommended to book accommodations well in advance, especially if your visit coincides with a known event. Utilizing hotel map filters to find places within a 1-mile radius or a few T stops can help narrow down suitable choices.

Section 03

Quick-Plan Overview

Getting There

Logan International Airport (BOS) is about a 20-minute drive, but traffic can extend this significantly.

Arrival & Parking

Plan to arrive 45-60 minutes early to account for city traffic and arena entry procedures.

Food & Dining

Enjoy a casual bite at the local eateries along Huntington Avenue before or after your event.

Culture & History

Section 04

Game Day Flow

Check-In & Warm-Up

As your team approaches Matthews Arena, focus on a smooth entry. If you're a visiting team, coordinate with event staff for designated load-in zones and locker room access, often located around the rear of the facility. For fans, aim to arrive at least 45-60 minutes before the scheduled start to navigate parking or transit, locate your seats, and allow ample time for security screening at the arena entrances. Early arrival also provides a less rushed opportunity for players to familiarize themselves with the ice or court and for any necessary last-minute warm-ups in designated areas.

Mid-Day Regroup

Between games or during intermissions, strategic regrouping is key. Families and fans can utilize concourse areas or find nearby cafes on Huntington Avenue to relax and refuel. For players, locker rooms are your primary hub for hydration, snacks, and strategic discussions. If there's a significant gap between sessions or games, consider a short walk to a nearby campus green space or a quick meal at a casual spot, ensuring you have a clear meeting point and timeline for returning to the arena.

Wrap-Up & Departure

Post-event, managing your departure efficiently will make a big difference. Visiting teams should confirm their load-out procedures with arena staff to avoid congestion. Spectators should be aware that exit routes can become crowded, especially if driving. Consider waiting 15-20 minutes after the final whistle or curtain call for traffic to dissipate, or utilize public transit options if readily accessible. Rideshare pick-up points can also become congested; have a designated meeting spot away from the immediate arena exits to streamline your pick-up.
