Stick It
A major-league sport that lets you drink on the field
W
ouldn't it be great if you could tailgate on the field? Now you can, while watching one of the hottest major-league sports, by hanging out in the end zone during Boston Cannons lacrosse games. No huge markups, scalpers, or traffic, either. Tickets are cheap and fairly easy to come by, including in the 21+ "Barracks" in the end zone, where beer is sold right on the field and the Cannons dance team runs promotions and giveaways. It's like going to a sports bar, without the need for TVs. There's also a kid-friendly zone, and Autograph Alley, where some of the best players in the game will sign your shirts, cards, and lax gear. Herder
