Does not appear so, but not sure.Are they going to have a ceremony/rally when they arrive at Hynes?
The last part is the problematic part. I'd do the Blue Line on the way back too. (Green to Govt, Blue to Aquarium)Tell me if I’ve lost my mind.
My 2 boys (5 &8) and I are flying into Logan at 10:15 on Friday. This is not to see the parade - we’re visiting my family on the Cape and have had these tickets for months. At 2, we have to be on the Provincetown Ferry from Long Wharf. If we don’t check bags, we could haul ass, hop on the Blue Line to Govt Center, and haul ass to an Uber when the parade’s over.
do we have any chance of getting a worthwhile spot on the route and/or are we getting stranded downtown?
This sounds totally doable to me. Blue Line to Gov't Center, watch parade from City Hall Plaza somewhere, extremely easy walk (like 10 min tops) to Long Wharf. The tough part will be getting to parade route by they time it rolls by. Figure its 15 minutes off plane, at least 20 to blue line, probably 20ish to Gov't Center. You'll probably make it, but will be tight.Tell me if I’ve lost my mind.

How far can you carry all the bags and a 5 year old?Tell me if I’ve lost my mind.

Is there a later ferry? Or do those get booked months in advance? (I don’t go to the cape pretty much ever)Tell me if I’ve lost my mind.

Yeah anyone bringing kids, keep them close. It's super easy to get separated. I lost my 11to brother when I was 15 at the 1984 city hall ceremonies (pre duck boat era). He had the brains to find a cop who called home. No need to let that worry keep you away, just make sure that the kids know to stay right next to you.Everyone who is going - have a blast. Please be safe and careful though. These big public gatherings can be scary.
What's going on on the pre-parade?There it is: NBATV is now listing coverage of the parade Friday, with a pre-parade starting at 9:30, and the parade itself starting at 11. The whole thing wraps up at 1:30. All times Eastern. That’s a lot of coverage!
Watching the players arrive, watching the trophy arrive, gawking at the size of the crowd from 10 different camera locations, that type of thing. Would be nice if they say a few words before hopping on the vehicles, but not sure if that'll happen or not.What's going on on the pre-parade?
What Jimbo said, from what I've seen on TV coverages for Patriots and Red Sox parades. I've never seen a Celtics one. As I recall, they'll have some media people from the local team (maybe Cedric the Cornbread, or Scal?) and people from NBATV for this. Maybe working together? We''ll find out.What's going on on the pre-parade?
I'm hoping for some entertainment as great as Tom Werner's cheer in 2013:Would be nice if they say a few words before hopping on the vehicles, but not sure if that'll happen or not.
Oh wow. I had either blocked this out or never seen it but it is CRINGEY. He might have gotten away with it if he had known the actual rhythm, or remembered the clapping that goes with it. As its stands it comes off like Thurston Howell trying to rap along to Hit 'em Up...I'm hoping for some entertainment as great as Tom Werner's cheer in 2013:

I got on at JFK at 8 and it was pretty packed. Also hotter than I thought is was going to be. It’s cool, just as many families as college bros.Headed in on the train now. Packed like sardines with green shirts in a tin can.
Having it not be February or a school day definitely helps with the family demographics.I got on at JFK at 8 and it was pretty packed. Also hotter than I thought is was going to be. It’s cool, just as many families as college bros.
I'd vote for stoned mellow crowd over drunk rowdy crowd every day and twice on Sunday.Trapper Jr and I are at the Commons, right by the TV stage area. Crowd is big and getting bigger. And the clouds of pot smoke are thick…

Can confirm. I’m across the street from you with my daughter. Nice day for a parade.Trapper Jr and I are at the Commons, right by the TV stage area. Crowd is big and getting bigger. And the clouds of pot smoke are thick…
This is definitely a "we kept the receipts" day.
Jaylen is definitely going to be a sore winner. Love it.
