Go to a Sporting Event
In Boston, enthusiasm for sports is vital to the city's character. Fans are especially fond of Fenway Park, home of the 2004 World Champion Boston Red Sox. From November to January, the National Football League's three time Champion New England Patriots draw sell-out crowds to Gillette Stadium just outside of Boston. Another draw to Gillette is the New England Revolution, the region's Major League Soccer Team.

Boston fans are also passionate about the
Boston Celtics, who once ruled basketball as no team ever dominated a sport by winning 16 world championships. Competing for pennant space on the rafters of the TD Banknorth Garden are the Bruins, winners of five Stanley Cup Championships, and the first team to be awarded a franchise in the National Hockey League in 1924. The city also has a Major League Lacrosse Team, The Boston Cannons, who play their home games at Boston University's Nickerson Field. The Boston Lobsters, a member of the World Team Tennis League, is Boston's newest sporting team and plays all home games at Harvard University's Bright Arena.

Collegiate sports in Boston have been shining brightly in recent years as well, gaining national recognition and respect in hockey, basketball and football.

Boston Marathon, held each April on Patriots' Day, remains one of the most prestigious sporting events in the world. Each October, rowers have come from far and near to take part in the Head of the Charles, the world's largest regatta.
