Going on a road trip to Boston to see the Hokies play! Anyone know which sections are for away fans? Also if you're familiar with the area where's a good spot to eat?

Wait-ONLY crabcakes?? No lobstah, chowdah or gonorrhea (j/p)? I am sorely disappointed.
If you're into craft beer and venturing closer to the city, definitely check out:
1) Night Shift Brewing Company
2) Trillium Brewing Company
Trillium has a beer garden on the greenway which is a great place to catch a pint and sit outside. Night Shift is a fun spot that usually has some great food trucks.
Row 34 in Seaport is fantastic. By far my top recommendation for the city.
Currently live in Boston....I will be attending. I have some friends coming up to visit from VA. About 20 of us in Section Y with the Alumni Group. Probably won't be going to pregame party but looking forward to seeing lots of Hokies at the game.
Side note - The turnout at the bar for the Clemson game was amazing didn't realize how many Hokies lived in the area! Took over the entire bar.
Responding to food: Highly recommend Pizzeria Regina in North End usually crowded on weekends but really good. North End is loaded with good Italian restaurants just walk down Hanover Street.
Recommendations:
Gaslight - South End
Barking Crab (Fried Seafood or Lobster Roll) - Seaport
Friendly Toast (Brunch) - Back Bay or Cambridge
Loco (Mexican) - South Boston
Beehive (Brunch) - South End
Pour House (Really cheap for location but good pub/sports bar) - Back Bay
Shojo (Asian Fusion) - Chinatown
I wanna hear "LET'S GO" "HO-KIES" in the strongest, loudest southie accent possible over my TV this Saturday.
We'll be sitting in Section Y with the rest of the New England Alumni Chapter. Looking forward to seeing y'all there.
