One last match. One more chance to be #MatchReadyMA.
As fans head to the final World Cup match at Boston Stadium, plan ahead for heavier-than-normal traffic and transit congestion. Leave early, give yourself extra travel time, and stay alert.
If you see suspicious activity at the match, on public transit, or at nearby celebrations, report it to law enforcement, venue security, event staff, or transit personnel. If there is an immediate threat or emergency, call 9-1-1. Remember: see something, say something.
