Timeline
06:41
Arrive at Harvard Stadium before the gates open. The grounds are free, but access is limited until dawn. Use this quiet time to walk the perimeter and feel the history of the field before the crowds arrive.
07:11
Watch the sunrise from the stadium grounds. The sun rises toward the east, illuminating the historic structure. Gates open at dawn, so you will have full access to the area as the light hits.
07:56
Walk to Breakfast Club for an 80s-themed diner breakfast. It is very popular, so be prepared to wait in line during the weekend brunch rush. If it is a weekday, you might find a seat faster as they open at 06:00.
Local tip
The stadium gates open at dawn. If you arrive too early, you can still walk the exterior grounds, but the interior fields are accessed once gates open.
