Going to or in-game apps

ParkMe - Parking isn’t the same in Boston as it is in Salem. Getting to the arena is the number one priority, but once you’re there, parking is a different story. ParkMe will provide information on parking garages near the arena, so you don’t have to drive around looking for it. Fueled by their real-time information on their Los Angeles Parking information page, their iOS and Android app for commuter in the area. The app shows you real-time parking information, prices, and availability for most of the Boston area.

Twitter - It’s not just another social media if you use it right You’re easily and quickly presented content that matters about your favorite team. I can’t go to a game now and not check up on my team via 140 characters. Following beat writers and team accounts is the best way to know who’s playing, injury news, and a little behind the scenes stuff from reporters in the locker room. Making lists easily allows you to manage what goes on your timeline.

Hotel Tonight - Celebrated the win and are now too tired to drive back? Just stay nearby and let Hotel Tonight find you a place to stay. Hotel Tonight hooks you last-minute planners or partied-too-hard fans with deals on hotels on the day of your stay.

At Home

The Score - If you don’t already follow The Score for their news, and commentary, this is your chance to make up for all that you’ve been missing. This app is one of the best of any platform since they do more sports, follow more teams, and have alerts for news. The app is available on almost every platform.

Domino’s - A pizza app? Yes. Surprisingly, it’s actually really easy to order pizza right from your phone. You don’t have to go through the hassle of telling your screaming guests to quiet down or lower the TV volume. Just go on your phone, order, wait, then grub.

Team Stream - Bleacher Report doesn’t have the best content. Although, their content is terrible, the data they provide within the app isn’t. The app relies on multiple sources to bring in content that will most likely appeal to your fandom.

GroupMe - Have you ever gone anywhere with a group and want to plan things without having to share information to every person individual?
