Boston

the local sports scene
Boston is a four-sport city where every team has won inside the last twenty years, and the fanbase has still not decided whether to enjoy it. The Red Sox set the emotional weather; everyone else operates underneath it.
The local sports scene
The scene
Fenway is the oldest park in the majors and it dictates how baseball is played there — the wall in left turns routine fly balls into doubles and doubles into outs. The Patriots dynasty reset the region's expectations of what winning looks like, the Celtics carry 18 banners, and the Bruins remain the team that best matches the city's temperament.
Rivalries that matter
Yankees–Red Sox is the rivalry every other American rivalry is measured against, and it is genuinely about a century of grievance rather than marketing. Celtics–Lakers is the NBA's defining feud. Bruins–Canadiens is the oldest in hockey.
Where to watch
Lansdowne Street outside Fenway on a game night is the city at its most itself. Beyond that, the neighbourhood rooms in Southie and Dorchester take their hockey seriously, and Staten Island-style high school football chatter has a Boston equivalent in the Thanksgiving-morning rivalries.
