Game Day

Fenway and Arena Game Day Restrooms: what it covers

Quick answer

Fenway Park's sell-out capacity was reported at 37,731 in 2021, and game days bring large crowds onto the streets and plazas around the ballpark. Units for those crowds are placed on the approaches, not inside the venue, and the count is set from the expected crowd at each approach. The provider delivers and services the units on the days of the event.

Game days at Fenway Park put a large crowd onto the streets of the Back Bay and Kenmore edge. The park's sell-out capacity was reported at 37,731 in 2021, in a team statement carried by a local television news report. Fans arrive over several hours, gather in plazas and on sidewalks, and then leave at once, which means the restroom demand is concentrated in a short window on either side of the game.

The downtown arena draws its own game-day crowds. Its capacity was reported at 19,580 in a Boston newspaper report from 2021. Those crowds use the streets and plazas near the arena, and the restroom planning follows the approaches, not the building.

Because the venue is a private facility, the restroom plan for the streets is a question for the City's permit offices and the venue's own operators, not for the crowd alone. The units are placed on the public way or on a private lot with the owner's consent, and each placement is recorded for the event.

Our process

How our fenway and arena game day restrooms visit works

  1. Map the approaches

    Identify the routes fans take from the transit stops and parking to the venue, and the plazas and corners where they gather before and after.

  2. Set the clusters on those routes

    Place clusters where the walk from the transit stop meets the crowd, so units are reached without a long walk back.

  3. Confirm the space and the permit

    Units on the public way or a closed street need the permit for that space. Units on a private lot need the owner's written consent.

  4. Schedule servicing around the game

    Set servicing for the hours before the gates open and the hours after the final out, when use peaks.

  5. Collect after the crowd clears

    Collect the units once the streets are open again, and confirm the pickup time with the site contact.

Units on the approach to a game-day crowd

What homeowners notice
A sell-out crowd arrives over several hours and waits on the sidewalks before first pitch. The venue's own facilities serve only the people inside the gates.
What we do
Clusters are placed on the approaches where fans queue and walk, under the street permit or with the owner's written consent. Servicing is timed for the hour before the gates and the hour after the game.
What to expect
The approaches keep a usable unit within reach of the queue, and the surrounding sidewalks stay clear of waste.

Servicing before the gates open and after the final out typical visit

Why do game days need restroom planning outside the venue?

A sell-out crowd arrives over a short window and spends time on the sidewalks, plazas and transit approaches around the building, where there are often no public toilets open to them.

The venue's own facilities serve the people inside the gates, and the approaches serve everyone else. A crowd that waits outside for two hours before the gates open, or that leaves at once after the final out, needs somewhere to go nearby. Units on the approaches reduce the pressure on the nearest shop doorway or restaurant kitchen, and they keep the surrounding streets usable.

Who gives permission for units near Fenway Park?

Units on the public way go through the City's permit for that space. Units on private land need the owner's consent, which the venue or the land's owner can give.

The venue, the streets around it and the private lots each have their own owners and rules. The organizer or the operator should confirm which space each unit sits on before the booking, and should record the consent or the permit in the file for that unit.

How is the count set for a game day?

The operator sets the count per cluster from the expected crowd at each approach, the time the crowd spends there and whether food or drink is sold on the way. No City ratio for game days is published.

The count reflects the crowd at each approach, which is different from the crowd inside the venue. A corner where fans queue for an hour before the gates needs a different count from a lot where people park and leave. Servicing is planned around the peaks, so the units are clean when the rush arrives.
