Summary
Thousands of Scotland fans have descended on Boston for the World Cup, creating a massive party atmosphere and straining local bar resources. Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey temporarily extended bar and restaurant hours to accommodate the influx. The Scottish fan base, known as the "Tartan Army," has put serious pressure on beer supplies in a city already accustomed to heavy drinking holidays like St. Patrick's Day and the Fourth of July. Local Scottish bar owner Jason Waddleton of The Haven in Jamaica Plain anticipated the "tsunami" of fans.
