BOSTON – The City of Boston and Red Sox are teaming up to host a watch party for Game 6 of the NBA Finals on Thursday at Fenway Park.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu made the announcement on Wednesday.

The Celtics face the Warriors at TD Garden on Thursday at 9 p.m. with Boston trailing the series 3-2.

Tickets to watch the game on the video board are free and can be claimed through the Red Sox website. All tickets are for general admission in the lower seating bowl.

Limited concessions will be sold.

"These watch parties are large-scale events that require careful planning for public safety, and the late starts mean even more planning to balance neighborhood quality of life late into the night," Wu said in a statement. "Despite our storied championship sports teams, Boston doesn't have a history of hosting many of these free watch parties, so we have worked to test out different locations and learn from each event as we go. I'm grateful to the Red Sox for joining alongside us to cheer on our beloved team in a welcoming, exciting venue."

Well, if you can't throw bottles, what's the point?

[Glad to see this happening...]

 

[JCizzle]

This would be an awesome experience.

Sounds like fun, but the only Green Monster I'm interested in for G6 is the one which devours the Warriors.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Wish I was up there as I would definitely be in for this. Outdoors means less than negligible COVID risks. Would be awesome.

Tempting but the 9PM tip-off makes it a nonstarter for me. Hope anyone who does go has a blast though.

And they’re gone. “This event has reached capacity”

Maybe if the Sox game goes 15 innings tomorrow I can hide out in a bathroom and stay for this?

Well this is another factor helping to explain ticket prices at TD

looks like it sold out already

One of your best plans yet.

hope Red Sox goes 25 innings and they’re forced to cancel

This makes more sense for a game 7 (I guess they can still do that?) when it’s a road game.
Now we’re like Alberta and Tampa

So, you're against mass groups of people gathering to watch a sporting event together?
Noted

Now we’re like Tampa

Unless it's a Rays game watch party; then 9 people would show up.

Curious what you mean by this?

People having another way to watch the game in addition to on TV at home and at the Garden.

What’s your opinion on sports bars? Or gatherings at private homes of more than one?

What do you mean?

Bars are obviouslyanother option but that hasn’t changed. I think this ismore unique though and it’s outdoors during Covid in a blue state and that matters to some.

Id rather watch at Fenway than a bar myself too

As a factor in the declining ticket price?

As a factor in the declining ticket price?

A tiny part of it, but a part. Statistically, has to be at least some of the 10k who are going to Fenway who would otherwise be part of the demand of going to TD
