Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Silvio O. Conte Forum

2601 Beacon St

Chestnut Hill, MA 02467

Located approximately 6 miles west of downtown Boston, Conte Forum sits in Chestnut Hill with convenient access from city neighborhoods and surrounding suburbs.

• Parking: On-site parking is available in campus garages and lots; event parking fees may apply. Early arrival is recommended for the best spots.
• Public Transit: Accessible via the MBTA Green Line (B Branch, Boston College stop), with several bus routes serving the area.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated pickup and dropoff zones are available near the main entrance.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before game time or showtime, especially for high-attendance matchups and major concerts. Early arrival helps you secure better parking, breeze through entry, and grab concessions without rush. With indoor seating, weather won’t affect the event itself, but give yourself a little buffer for traffic around campus on busy nights.

If you’re taking the MBTA Green Line (B Branch), factor in typical evening or weekend service timing to avoid last-minute sprints. There’s some walking from campus garages and transit stops, but elevation changes are minimal. Download your mobile tickets in advance—cell service is generally reliable but can get congested during peak moments—and have your Conte Forum tickets ready to scan as you approach the doors.

Once inside, use the main concourse to orient your group, make a quick merch stop, or settle in with snacks before warmups or opening acts. If you prefer a quieter pre-show moment, stake out a meeting spot along the concourse’s gathering areas so everyone can reconnect easily after the final buzzer or encore.

Venue Navigation

Conte Forum is designed for easy circulation, with a main concourse that wraps the arena bowl and features multiple concession stands, restrooms, and fan gathering spaces. You’ll also find merchandise stands and a Boston College team store along the main level for quick apparel and souvenir pickups.

Key facilities include a First Aid room behind Section O, ATMs on the main concourse, and premium areas like club seating, suites, and the press box. Elevators and ramps provide access to all levels, so getting to accessible seating or premium sections is straightforward. Comfortable footwear is recommended if you’ll be moving between parking, transit, and various concourse stops before and after the event.

Security and Policies

• Bag Policy: Small bags are permitted; large bags and backpacks may be prohibited. A clear bag policy may be enforced for major events.

• Re-entry Policy: Typically no re-entry; check event-specific policies.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
• Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
• Charge your phone fully.
• Review venue policies in advance.
• Consider the MBTA Green Line (B Branch) to avoid parking delays during peak games and concerts.
• For hockey games, look for “Kelley Rink” on signage inside the venue.

Pre-Event Planning

Make the most of your visit by arriving early to explore the main concourse—grab a favorite arena bite, check out the team store, and stake out a good meeting spot for your group. If you’re coordinating across multiple sections, Ticket Purchase’ interactive seating chart makes it easy to visualize everyone’s location before you buy, ensuring smooth meetups and a shared game plan for intermission.

Outside the arena, the campus offers attractive views—especially in autumn—so consider a short walk before tipoff or puck drop to soak in the scenery. If you’re planning around a packed calendar of Conte Forum events, keep an eye on transit timing or rideshare pickup zones to streamline your exit after the final horn or encore.
