Tips & Fan Reports
What fans who park here actually do, and what it cost them.
Park before you reach the stadium on Route 1, don't go past it. There are private lots and the Dunkin' Donuts lot about a minute past the stadium that regulars use.
Boston Common Coach runs a bus from downtown Boston to Gillette. $80 a ticket but the bus gets you there 3 hours early with seating and coolers for tailgating (BYOB) and gets you back downtown.
If you don't tailgate, get an edge/perimeter parking row so you can set up and break down easily, and you'll be closer to the walking paths to the stadium.
General lots open four hours before the game.
Patriot Place has free Enel X smart charging stations; use the stadium's linked charging-location map.
From the north the stadium is on your left after about 3 miles; from the south, on your right after about 4.
The stadium publishes a walking route map for Foxboro Station, worth downloading before you travel.
Rail is event-only special service to Foxboro Station: there is no regular timetable to rely on.
Every route ends on Route 1: Exit 19 off I-95 from the north, Exit 36A off I-495 from the south and west.

Parking Rules
What the pass covers, what gets turned away, and the lots that run on their own rules.
Your Pass
- Lots open four hours before kickoff. They close two hours after day games, and immediately after night games.
- General parking is free, on the opposite side of Route 1 from the stadium.
- The 2026 Be Paid to Park programme gives a $50 Visa gift card for parking in Lot 45 or 55B and staying 75 minutes after the game.
- Those delayed-exit lots, 45 and 55B, are secured 30 minutes after kickoff.
- There is no re-entry, and refunds are not given at stadium parking lots.
- Overnight parking is not allowed in the stadium lots.
- Uber, Lyft and taxis all use Lot 15, closest to the CVS Health Gate.
Not Allowed In
- Fifth-wheel and tow-behind trailers are not permitted.
- Eighteen-wheelers and tractor trailer cabs are not permitted.
- Box trucks and branded vehicles are not permitted.
- Every vehicle must fit within a 9ft by 18ft parking space.
- Kegs, outside catering, professional tailgates and non-stadium portable toilets are also barred from the lots.
RV Parking
Oversize vehicles have their own lot with its own approach, and must still fit the stadium's space rules.
- Oversize vehicles park in Lot 52, accessible from P10 North and P10 South.
- For Revolution matches, oversize vehicles use Lot 20 from the south or Lot 3C from the north if P10 is unavailable.
- For concerts and special events, oversize vehicles are not allowed in the lots on the stadium side of Route 1.
- Overnight parking is not allowed.
Bus & Limo Parking
Limousines pay for a dedicated spot and, unusually, are not allowed to drop off or pick up at the stadium at all.
- Dedicated limousine spots cost $150.
- Limousines and town cars are not allowed to drop off or pick up at the stadium.
Getting There
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.
- Driving
- From Boston, I-93 south to I-95 south at Exit 1, then Exit 19 onto Route 1 south and about 3 miles to the stadium on the left. From Maine or New Hampshire, I-128 south to I-95 south and the same Exit 19. From Cape Cod, I-495 north to Exit 36A onto Route 1 north, about 4 miles with the stadium on the right. From northern Connecticut, Vermont or upstate New York, I-90 east to I-495 south and the same Exit 36A. From southern Connecticut or Rhode Island, I-95 north to I-495 north and Exit 36A.
- Public Transit
- The MBTA Commuter Rail, operated by Keolis, runs special event train service to Foxboro Station for Patriots games and for concerts, rather than a regular scheduled service. Timings vary by event, so check the event guide or the MBTA before travelling. The stadium publishes a walking route map between Foxboro Station and the gates but names no distance.
- Rideshare
- Uber and Lyft drop off and pick up in Lot 15, next to Bass Pro Shops and closest to the CVS Health Gate, and taxis pick up there too at Patriots games. After the game, leave by the CVS Health Gate and follow the pedestrian path to Lot 15. Dropping off or picking up on Route 1 is against the law.

- 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
