PARKING

The lot on Amherst Street (left at first light after you cross the river, or right at second light after taking a right on Massachusetts Avenue after you drive by the complex) is closest to the tennis courts and Barry Field, but is usually very crowded, especially on weekends.

We recommend the West Garage Annex which is on Vassar Street directly across from
Steinbrenner Stadium.

Lock your vehicle and keep your valuables with you. This lot is open after 3:00 PM weekdays and all
weekend.

RESTAURANTS

There are very few restaurants in the immediate vicinity of the MIT athletic complex. The best advice for visitors to the complex is to take Massachusetts Avenue away from the campus further into Cambridge.

There are several fast food places, ethnic restaurants and pizza and sub shops located on both sides of the street for more than four miles.

The MIT Student Center, housed directly adjacent to the complex boasts several different types of food and dining establishments.

KASSER SPORTS MEDICINE CENTER (W35-115)

The Center is located in the Al and Barrie Zesiger Sports and Fitness Center (W35) at 120 Vassar Street. Once in the building look for signs to Sports Medicine.
