Travel
Overview
Gillette Stadium sits in Foxborough, Massachusetts, about 30 miles southwest of Boston with no nearby public transit hub. Most fans drive, but the MBTA runs special commuter rail service on game days. Rideshare is an option but expensive from Boston. The stadium is at the intersection of Route 1 and I-95, making it accessible from across New England but traffic-prone on game days.
