Gillette Stadium is primarily known as the home of the New England Patriots, and it shows — the New England Revolution share a large NFL venue in Foxborough, Massachusetts, about 30 miles south of Boston. For soccer, the configuration holds around 20,000 fans in the lower bowl, which helps create a more contained atmosphere than the full stadium would suggest. It's a clean, modern venue, but the suburban stadium complex feel is undeniable.
Getting to Foxborough without a car is the main challenge — commuter rail on the Providence/Stoughton Line runs to Foxboro Station on match days, which is a reasonable option from South Station in Boston. Driving means navigating Route 1, which can get congested before and after matches. The stadium complex has a large parking area with tailgating, which is the primary pregame activity for most fans. There's little else within walking distance of the venue itself.
Logan is 7 miles from Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, but that's straight-line distance. The real drive is about 30 miles south via I-93 and Route 1, 35–50 minutes depending on traffic. A rideshare runs $50–75. No direct transit. Take the commuter rail from South Station.
ADA-designated spaces are in the on-site lots. The accessible drop-off zone is near the main entrance. For accessibility services, call Gillette Stadium at (508) 543-1776.
Extensive on-site parking in the surrounding lots, managed by the Kraft Sports Group. Driving is the main way in. Pre-purchase online for the best rates and a guaranteed spot.
The lots support a good tailgating scene. Patriot Place, next to the stadium, has restaurants, bars and shops as an upscale alternative. Supporter groups (The Midnight Riders, New England Army) gather in designated areas pre-match.
The MBTA runs special game-day commuter rail from South Station in Boston to Foxboro station, a 10-minute walk from the stadium. Check mbta.com for the schedule and pre-purchase tickets. Post-match trains fill fast.
Foxborough is suburban, with no walkable neighborhood around the stadium. Patriot Place next door has walkable dining and entertainment, but you need a car, rideshare or the commuter rail to reach it.
Bike parking is near the stadium. Foxborough has limited cycling infrastructure, so biking is impractical from Boston or the northern suburbs.
No outside drinks.

Gillette is a shared NFL venue in Foxborough. Lower midfield sections have the best touchline proximity and clean sightlines. The Revolution's supporter culture is strong and makes big match nights lively despite the huge stadium.
Upper bowl midfield sections give a clean view of the whole pitch. They are farther away than the lower bowl but cheaper, and they show the shape of the game well.
End zone upper deck sections are distant from the pitch and have poor angles to the goals. Lower bowl end sections are passable for atmosphere but much worse than midfield. Stick to midfield at any level.
The stadium runs roughly north-south, so the east side stands get more direct afternoon sun. The west side gets upper deck shade earlier. New England weather is cooler than the south, but sunglasses are still smart for early-season afternoon games.
The stadium is open-air with little wind shelter. Bring real layers for April, May, September and October games. Summer games are comfortable, and July and August kickoffs are some of the nicest in MLS.
Main Concourse - No-frills smash burger chain. Get the classic double.
Premium Club - Boston seafood brand with clam chowder and lobster rolls on matchdays.
Throughout the Stadium - Boston Lager and seasonal beers throughout the stadium.
The Midnight Riders and allied supporter groups gather in Lot 3B at Gillette Stadium before home matches. Check Midnight Riders social media for current tailgate details and times before each match.
The Midnight Riders organize a march into the supporter sections on select matchdays. Check the Midnight Riders website for current march information.
Possibly 217-218 for bigger groups
New England Revolution's supporter groups — led by the Midnight Riders — fill sections 141–143 in the south end of Gillette Stadium. Given the venue's large NFL capacity, the supporter section creates a concentrated pocket of atmosphere that punches above its weight. Standing and chanting throughout is the expectation. Non-Revolution apparel is not permitted in the supporter sections.
A selection of songs and chants can be found on The Midnight Riders website.
The Revolution Fan Zone runs from 2 hours before kickoff until kickoff on the East side, in the plaza outside the Pro Shop. It has family-friendly activities and entertainment.
Nursing: Nursing and baby-changing stations are on the west side of the Main Concourse at Section 131, inside First Aid.
Changing tables: Family restrooms on the 300 Level behind Sections 304, 314, 326 and 336, plus two by Section 300 in the North End Zone. Adult changing tables at Main Concourse West First Aid (near Section 132) and Upper Concourse East First Aid (near Section 310).
Sensory/quiet space: Sensory room available. Ask Guest Services for location and access.
Seating tip: Book the designated family seating area, not general seating or the supporters' end zone sections.
In the Stands offers apparel for fans who enjoy visiting ballparks and stadiums. While we all have our favorite teams, there are times when they aren't the ones playing. Our goal is to create a sense of community and camaraderie whenever you see someone wearing In the Stands apparel.
