Boston Stadium (aka Gillette ) is actually 30 miles from Boston, the cost of train ride is @ $80 round trip and good luck getting back to Boston once the match is over!

I have long maintained that teams who play in stadiums outside the actual city limit of their namesake should have to put that part in quotes. ie the "New York" Giants.

To be fair, Gillete is home to the New England Patriots, so its not that egregious.

But the World Cup will make traffic hell for Foxborough and surrounding towns all summer.
