Getting to Gillette Stadium
New England Patriots · Foxborough, MA
Every published route to Gillette Stadium ends on Route 1, three or four miles out from either I-95 Exit 19 or I-495 Exit 36A — the stadium sits between the two interstates rather than beside either. Rail is event-only: the MBTA and Keolis run special service to Foxboro Station rather than a scheduled stop.

- Transit
MBTA: "Round trip event train tickets ... are $20", sold only through the mTicket app, from South Station and Back Bay. The figure is right and the unit was not: it was stored as a one-way fare, so the name now says round trip. Driving entries carry no transit fare by definition
