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.
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.
Route 1 gets severely congested 2 hours before kickoff. Plan accordingly.
Electric vehicle charging stations are available in the P4 Patriot Place Garage.
Carpooling saves money and reduces the parking headache.
Handicap parking is available in all official lots with proper placard displayed.
Post-game: stay and tailgate for 30-60 minutes to let the worst traffic clear.
Pre-purchase parking passes through the Patriots app or Ticketmaster to guarantee a spot.
