What is the best way to get from the Homewood Suites in Cambridge-Arlington, MA to the Celtics stadium? -

Would a bus, subway, or my own vehicle be the best way to get there? I am not familiar with the area. I am looking for an easy way with low stress. What do you think? Oh, and go Celtics! :)

Lowest stress is to drive to Alewife Station, park in the garage, and take the Red Line Inbound (Braintree or Ashmont, any train works) to Downtown Crossing, switch to the Orange Line Inbound (Oak Grove) and get off at North Station. Follow the crowd to the Garden. Don t take the 79 bus. The bus doesn t run that often at night (stops at 9:30, only comes every 45 minutes), and doesn t run at all on weekends. Better is the 77 bus to Harvard Square and pick up the Red Line at either Porter Square or Harvard Square. The 77 bus is one of the workhorses of the T -- it runs until after midnight and runs every 10-15 minutes. Alewife is about half a mile from your hotel, you could even walk it. There s a side road and a pathway.

Driving: Follow MA-16 / Alewife Brook Parkway to I-93 South towards Boston. Exit 26. Follow the road around to TD Banknorth Garden stadium parking.Public transit: You need to take the bus from MA Ave / Boulevard Ave. to the Alewife T subway station. Take the red line train towards Ashmont. You need to make a transfer at Downtown Crossing where you will take the orange line train towards Oak Grove, and get off at North Station which is the station for TD Banknorth Garden stadium.Google maps driving:http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d source=s��Google maps transit:http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d source=s��
