Dilboy Stadium

I live more than a mile away, in East Arlington. When an «event» is happening at Dilboy, their loudspeaker is so loud that I can’t ignore it, even with my windows shut.
How can I get them to turn it down? I’m sure they’re deafening their own audience, and all their neighbors!

I recently went to a Boston Breakers game and was very impressed with the facilities. The Breakers’ website has some of the history of the stadium on its website, which includes mentioning how this was resurrected from a state of disrepair, to re-​open in 2006. All the facilities appear to be in excellent condition. The turf field has lines for both soccer and football.
On the evening I attended, the stands were packed with fans to the tune of 3,000. There really isn’t a bad seat in the house, as the risers go up at a healthy clip making it easy to view the field. There are concessions available, though I didn’t try any. I saw kids walking by with fries, chicken fingers, and soft serve ice cream cones.
Parking on the evening I went was a challenge, as I got to the match close to game time and the lot was already full. Since it abuts a residential area, it’s mostly Somerville residential parking. I was able to find parking about 5 minutes away off Boston Ave. Next time, I’ll take the bus or walk from Alewife.

Congrats to the Boston Militia! Dilboy Stadium is the perfect venue to watch the women’s professional football league! It’s family friendly, plenty of parking, bathrooms are clean and its easily accessible. A great time every time I go!

I’ve been to Dilboy Stadium a few times now over the years, always to watch women’s professional football. What? Yes. Women’s professional football. It exists, and it’s *awesome.*
SIL is the quarterback for our very own DC Divas, and over the years the Divas have met the Boston Militia in regular and post-​season games a number of times. In Boston, games take place at Dilboy in Somerville. Dilboy looks like a truly professional facility: gorgeously maintained turf field, manicured landscaping, an actual ticket booth, well-​kept restrooms, a free-​standing concession stand, a large press box, plenty of seating with both visitors and home seating on the same side of the stadium.
Viewing games at Dilboy is a pleasure. A great spot for showcasing women’s pro sports.

awesome field. i played soccer w/​bssc here a few times this summer and it was a blast. everyone seems to think it is a great clean and nicely maintained field. the ironic thing is when some hothead gives the ground staff a hard time about doing ther job which IS to keep it nice and clean.
Fine by me! the ground staff should be strict about there rules if it is to be maintained as nicely as it is and not turn into a cesspool from people leaving trash lying around or warping the track cause they dont want to walk over the walkway. keep it clean

Dilboy Stadium is owned, operated and maintained by the Somerville Department of Public Works. It is open to the public at designated hours (but you might want to call ahead of time to verify hours).
It’s a stadium. It’s new.
It’s a soccer/​football field covered in lush turf. The grounds are protected from gulls and other pests by faux fox. Surrounding the turf is a beautiful rubberized track and bright stadium lights. The stadium itself is a concrete structure with public bathrooms (when the field is in use) and locker rooms for HOME and VISITING teams (but not open for BSSC).
I’ve only played on this field for BSSC soccer games, but it’s by far my favorite of all the others (Wayland is nice, but far…). They are host to local sports teams in HIgh School and College as well. A short drive from Powderhouse Circle, Davis Square, and Teele Square, it’s also the closest field that’s equally gorgeous.
Of course, such a first class field has it’s woes. Beware of DPW grounds keepers. They are very strict about their rules and are quick to enforce them.
+ No cleats on the track, only on cloth which has been carefully bridged over the rubber.
+ No sports drinks. WATER ONLY. Grrrr…
+ No food or gum either.
