It's amusing - I googled the first number and all the hits are from
teams trying to figure out the clue :)

A couple of facts:

This is adjacent the finish line of the Boston Marathon.

Someone speculated that Boston == Red Sox == infraRED :)

The John Hancock Tower is 790 feet tall and is near Copley Square.

Ah, you can google and read the rest :)
