So my friend and I are headed to Mansfield 1 and will arrive Friday night we will have friday night and saturday day before the show. We are from new brunswick canada and not familiar with the area. Can anyone tell me of any attractions around the area, or ideas for things to do? Obviously there is the pre party show, but I mean something to do before that? I checked online but Im not really finding much

    well if you wanted to head on over to Foxboro and see where the Patriots play, there's a Bass Pro Shops you could good around in...maybe pick up a crossbow and fire some t-shirts at Mike!!! :D

    There is nothing at all to do in Mansfield. Your best bet would be to drive down to Providence & stay close to or in the city, that will be a little cheaper than staying in Boston proper. Saturday before the show you could either drive to the shore or you could stay in Providence & have lunch on the water.
    Providence is not a bad place to hang for a few nights. But seriously, nothing happens in Mansfield. At all.

    if you have all day saturday free then i highly suggest you take the commuter train in to boston. it's cheap/easy/safe/etc. spending a no-show day in mansfield really isn't an option.

    Can you give me more details about the commuter train? We are staying at the Red roof inn in Mansfield. Can you tell me how far this train would be from there and once we are in boston what we would be close to.

    no idea how far the red roof is from the commuter rail station but it can't be too far (mansfield aint that big). you can park at the station for super cheap. the train takes you into the heart of downtown (south station). from there you're a short walk/subway ride to everything.
