Everyone who loves sports at virtually every level has their favorite places to take in a game or event. In short — it’s just way cool. So what are the places on Cape Cod that provide for us some of those feelings, for better or worse? Well, we took a look at all the places we’ve seen games over the past year and here’s what we thought, mind you, these are strictly opinions and these places are not an attempt to “rank” anything. Enjoy.
Clean Harbors Stadium, Massachusetts Maritime Academy, Buzzards Bay
We’d be remiss not to mention the largest capacity football/soccer/lacrosse stadium on the Cape and certainly one of the nicest and cleanest venues to take in a Saturday afternoon college football game in the region, bar none. Watching tug boats or large oil tankers glide slowly by down the Cape Cod Canal just 50 yards away is an added bonus for sure as it serves as a constant reminder that we are a region bound by the sea. There are no obstructed views and with a full house it can get loud in the heart of the Massachusetts Maritime Academy campus and exciting as every bit of the action is displayed from one side of the field. It’s about as professional as it gets here, the sound system is exceptional and the scoreboard is big enough to know what’s going and when. A coat is ALWAYS recommended here regardless of the time of year, but that’s not to dissuade sports fans from the pleasant atmosphere inherent in a school built on discipline and sacrifice. If you love college football or soccer or lacrosse, turn the TV off and check out a game at Clean Harbors, it’s guaranteed to give you your money’s worth.
