Hotels for Boston Red Sox vs. Colorado Rockies

An interleague matchup pits an American League East club against a National League West opponent, a pairing that only comes around a handful of times a season. Saturday evening baseball means a full crowd, a slow summer sunset over the outfield, and the kind of atmosphere that builds through the middle innings.

Interleague games carry a slightly different feel than divisional rivalries — fans get a look at a roster they rarely see, and there's often a curiosity in the stands as much as competitiveness.

The oldest ballpark in Major League Baseball, Fenway Park is a beloved Boston institution, home to the Red Sox and its famous 'Green Monster' wall, and a characterful host of summer concerts. The surrounding Kenmore and Fenway area buzzes with students, bars and restaurants, with the rest of compact Boston easily walkable.

The MBTA Green Line stops right by the park. Booking a room in Boston lets you soak up the pre-game atmosphere on foot and ride the T back with ease afterwards.
