We decided to go to the Pats Giants game last minute and this was my first time at Gillette Stadium. What's funny to me is that the stadium is in the middle of nowhere!! You're driving past a hobby lobby and a CVS then *BOOM* huge stadium and so many people. The parking situation is awful. I would think with all the rings, bracelets, whatever the Pats have, that they would have it figured out by now. Once you past 80,000 orange cones and police officers to park, you walk 25 mins (literally depending on the lot) to the stadium. Our seats were pretty good but the game was so packed we stood the entire time. I'm not a sports girl but I do love the vibe of hooting and hollering in earmuffs and gloves lol. I had a cutwater and a hot dog, not the best combo but it got me through for about $19. I would not return though. We after the 3rd quarter and still sat in traffic for 30 mins to get out. read more

There's a section where they pay you to park. Of course there are stipulations but you get a $50 gift card. I'll return my first game tonight the Patriots versus Chargers. Concession lines were short bathroom lines were short stadium looked clean band felt clean. Over all it was a good experience. Can't say I'm a fan of the Boston accent tho. Especially when they're drunk and slurring their words. read more

Gillette Stadium - My seats at a revolution game - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Foxborough, Massachusetts

I've been here so many times for concerts and football games, good weather and horrible. Overall it's always a good time. Easy to get in and out of the actual gates, parking is a disaster though! Concessions while pricey are not the worst in the area (see Xfinity in Mansfield for that) thank god! This last Post Malone/ Jellyroll concert was a rainy cold mess and the sweatshirts were $101 which was ridiculous. Pretty sure they sold out cause of how bad the weather was. read more

AC/DC WAS BRILLIANT!! So glad I was able to see them again. Speakers were great, seating was awesome. Attendants were pleasant. Plenty of bathrooms located throughout along with porta potties in the parking lot. Prices for food/beverages were ridiculous which is why I'm giving 4 stars. $16 for a slice of cheese pizza that I ended up tossing out because of taste, I'm not one to have heartburn, and the small amount I ate caused that. I understand the venue draws a lot of people, but the wait time to exit is epic. I was in the handicap lot which in my thinking they would have exit first. Most people get to the cars first being the closest to the stadium. That isn't how it works at all. The music itself was great as were the workers I encountered. read more

I had a great time visiting Gillette a little while ago for a last minute Patriots game!! It was super cold and late in the season so the tickets were cheap. We had a good time while we were there, the seats were not uncomfortable, parking was extremely simple, and the food was tasty even if it was stadium priced. :) We left during the third quarter and we were able to get out without managing much traffic, but people definitely started heading out in larger packs soon after us. If the game is not close/exciting/etc, it might be worth it to head out a little early, but I'm sure it's manageable with some patience at the end of the game. Looking forward to returning on a nicer day to have fun! Also, it's nice because there's a lot of shopping and food right there. So you don't have to explore too far to find something you like before or after visiting Gillette. read more

Came to Gillette as a day early birthday concert of Jelly Roll and Post Malone thanks to my amazing wife! Jelly Roll stole the show with the best performance of the night with Post putting on a great show as well! I would avoid parking at the actual stadium itself and park further down for cheaper and easier out, just be ready for more of a walk, it's worth it though. Also if you show up early enjoy all the restaurants and shops around the stadium and or entertainment the event may bring, like our concert had some band playing music and some merch available before entering. The process of entering the stadium once the event started was a quick and easy process as well! Prices for everything were outrageous as you would expect for an event venue nowadays so we avoided food and drinks to save some money. Also the biggest miss by the staff was both inside and outside the venue with complete disregard on maintaining the bathrooms and they turned into chaos with the women's lines being long resulting in many eventually entering the men's. More bathrooms in general would seem to be a smart idea. I would return for another concert here again if it's the right show. Even despite the typical New England weekend weather of rain that we had it was an enjoyable time! Jelly Roll and Post Malone had an amazing show! read more

Came up to Gillette Stadium for the Army-Navy game in December and we had a great time. Second time at an Army-Navy game and the weather cooperated as well. We found the parking here pretty easy and the area for tailgating gave us plenty of space. The walk from the tailgate to the game wasn't bad either. Wifey and I walked around the stadium (inside) a couple times and there didn't seem to be a bad place to watch the game. My one complaint about the stadium was the food. Very uninspired and boring. I got a sausage sandwich that just wasn't worth the price. Lukewarm and bland on a roll that wasn't great. Overall a pretty nice stadium, a great game, but pretty boring food options. read more

I am legitimately concerned for the World Cup after experiencing the complete disorganization at the friendly game between Brazil and France. We are staying in a hotel 15 min. from the stadium, we thought would be super convenient. Traffic to the stadium was a total disaster leaving a full hour before the match. The local police block off any side street and the main routes were total gridlock. There were car accidents to make things worse. Parking was $50+, but when we made it to the lots nobody verified that we had paid and they put us in a random lot (not the one we paid for). The entrance was total chaos with no supervision over the lines, so some people were trying to wait in line while others were just directly cutting. Lines went several city blocks into the parking lot the wound into a zigzag once inside the initial gate and then women and men were split by gender to get pat down with no cross-gender pat downs allowed causing quite a bit of confusion. Many people had no idea about the bag policy causing people going back and forth between the line and cars. Once inside the ticket scanners had no semblance of a line only a mob and people clearly got through without scanning. Once at our seats a large number of attendees were just standing at the top of the stairs blocking the views of the lowest rows in our section and there was no staff in sight. It took until after the first half before staff cleared the stairs which accumulated a number of people who weren't even seated in our section and by then it took 7 police officers to clear the stairs. Just the overall experience felt like there was very little thought into organization and too few staff. I will be embarrassed to host World Cup matches here. The only thing that I would say is that the seats were comfortable and the food was good. Otherwise a disaster. read more

Went to my first Pars game here yesterday and had a super fun time! We did tailgate before the game which was fun. The stadium is huge and both the bathrooms and all areas are clean. Prices are crazy expensive for food and drinks but this is expected for a large arena. The only thing that sucks is leaving after the game. It took us another 2 hours just to leave the venue cause of the traffic. There has to be a better way! Other than that amazing! read more

This review is only for the Magic of Lights display that runs during the Holiday season. I give it a solid 3 star, so so rating. You can pack the kids into the family vehicle, go see the light displays (which are nice) and that's about it. There not much more to it. The display is set up in a parking lot area across from the stadium. You need to access it from Rt 2 south. The route is marked with cones and caution tape. It will take you about 15 minutes. You can't get out of your car to take any pictures. That would be dangerous. There is a channel to tune in on your radio to hear some Christmas carols. It helps to drown out the constant rumbling of the generators needed to run the lights. Young children will think it's great. Have fun! read more

The stadium is wonderful, but the parking situation for any event here is not at all. Any show I've seen here or game I've come to watch has been great. The location always safe, staff is helpful, shows and games take place without any issues. The prices on the food and drink are very high, but that's typical for a venue like this. The bathrooms are just okay. They never feel clean enough and on hot days I wish there was some ac/air in them because it gets pretty gross. My main issue is the parking for anytime that takes place at Gillette. You can park in their lot or a private one but be prepared to sometimes walk over a mile there and back. They have to figure out a better way to get people out quicker. It's literally insane. No matter what lot I end up in, it's always 90-120 + minute wait to get out of the main drag areas. Other than that, it's a nice stadium and a great spot to see a show or attend a sporting event. Just plan on it being a really late night if you are going to a night event. read more

Out of all the NFL stadiums I've visited, this might have been the nicest one! Granted, I haven't made all of them by far (I'm no Tom Grossi...!), but I really enjoyed the overall experience there. Getting to the stadium was actually a breeze, because we used the commuter train that left from South Station in Boston. No driving, no parking fees, no traffic. It was great! The area surrounding the stadium was kind of sparse... swamp land, it looked like. But, they have a huge new complex next door, including a theater, bowling alley, and restaurants. We didn't make use of these, though, since we had a half hour from game end to get to the train. But, if you're hanging out in the area, it seems like a great way to spend time after the game instead of fighting traffic. The stadium itself is really nice. Entry was quick and simple. The area looked either fairly new or recently refurbished. Either way, it is a far cry from some of the older looking venues I've been to. It was a hike up to the 300s, but that was expected. The view was fine, though, even in the end zone corner. What was really nice, though, was the availability of food and beverage up in that deck. Granted, we were a little early (about an hour by the time we made it up there), but still practically zero lines. Half-time was a completely different matter! The line to the restroom was insane! Speaking of concessions, I will also admit that the prices were WAY better than other places! The souvenir cups, for instance, were $9 filled, and they were of a much higher quality than I'm used to! Jumbo brats were also under 10 bucks, pretzels were 6 or so... I know it's always more expensive at the stadium, but comparatively? These were better. Getting back was okay. The train situation was confused and problematic, to the point that we ended up standing most of the trek back (at least until the first stop). After a long game, it wasn't ideal, but whatever, my team won. ;) Overall, it was a great experience, and I was glad we chose Gillette as our away game road trip. I got called a "Leafer" by a Pats fan (much deserved, I will admit!), which also made the experience even better! It's a solid venue for sporting events, and I would definitely go back there again. read more

My first time coming to Gillette Stadium was for Ed Sheeran's Mathematics Tour. There were 71,000 people in attendance for this show. I was thankful that MBTA offers train service for select Gillette Stadium events. This is a great way to avoid traffic and parking. For this concert, round trip train tickets to Foxboro are $20. They offer trains leaving from South Station in Boston and Providence Station in Rhode Island. We arrived at Foxboro Station, which is a short walk to Gillette Stadium. We arrived with plenty of time to use the restrooms and walk around. After the show, trains depart Foxboro 30 minutes after the concert ends. Make sure you know which direction the train is going to ensure you are on the right one. There were a lot of people exiting the stadium so it was a little slow to get out, but once you're out there was definitely more space. My seats were Sec 217, Row 18. It was easy to locate section and row and seats. Gillette Stadium is a really nice venue and plenty of choices for both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks and food. Bathrooms were conveniently located. I had the chicken tenders basket that came with fries and purchased a water bottle. It was good. I can't wait for my next concert in this venue! read more

I was able to take my kids to their first concert here and it was an amazing day. We arrived fairly early and paid for parking to hopefully get out at a reasonable time. We walked to the venue and walked around Patriots Place to eat and look around. We easily walked through metal detectors because all we had were our phones. I would not bring a bag unless it is clear and meets their guidelines. They do have lockers for those that don't have purses or bags that meet the guidelines. We easily got in to our club seats and were beyond satisfied with how helpful the staff was. We had our own merch, concession stands and AC! If you are questioning going to a concert and unsure how your children will react than go with club seats. It allowed us to have normal seats but be able to be inside and see the concert from a quieter environment. The food here is definitely normal concession food nothing spectacular. Over priced pizza, nachos, and quick snacks. read more

No food, just the game. Atmosphere was great as always. Just wished the Patriots had won.

My husband's company hosted their 50th anniversary party in February in the Lighthouse Room at Gillette. The spacious accommodations, strategically laid out tables and bar areas, and the food tables made for easy traffic flow within the room which is no small feat considering we had a crowd of approximately a thousand guests. We were able to do the Lighthouse tour which was awesome! read more

Came for a soccer game. I know, soccer is not a very popular sport in the U.S., but 'football' is huge in the rest of the world, and we, along with friends, took in a Revolutions game. Buying tickets on line is easy. Ticket prices are expensive, and then they add fees, because, you know, convenience. Anyway, stand in line and show your digital tickets to the employee at the gate. Once inside, you cannot leave and return, so be sure you have everything you may need: sunglasses, jacket, money, whatever. Water, beer and food are available for an outlandish fee. Think airport, plus some. Between the tickets and items purchased during the game, we spent as much as we would have if we'd gone away for the weekend. Was it fun? Sure. Did we enjoy ourselves? Sure. Would I do it again? No. I enjoy 'experiential' activities, while at the same time I enjoy feeling like my money has been well spent and in this case, although I'm glad we had this experience, all in all, the experience is not equal to the price. Although some of the food kiosks were closed, there were still several open offering popcorn, soda, fried dough, hotdogs, chicken, fries, etc. Two locations had coffee available, one at the end (far right in our case) had DD's coffee available. The ladies room was quite large, and staff were keeping it clean, so that was nice. Seating is typical stadium seating. The area there was clean of debris and not sticky when we arrived. There are cup holds. Parking for our event was at the front of Patriots Place, nearest route 1. Entry is at the back of the stadium, near the pro-shop. It's a lot of walking, including stairs, to get into the stadium. Getting out, they divert you into the mall area and there are no signs pointing the way so several folks went to 'dead ends' and had to turn back. So exit, is not 'reversing' your entry route. Walk through the mall area, out the front, cross the street, and locate your vehicle. Then vie for position in the multiple lines that form in the parking area, onto the mall road out of the parking area, and then, only be allowed to turn in one direction. If you need to go the other way, find a side road or travel down to the highway interchange, and back track. read more

Gillette Stadium is a nice place to watch a football game or see a big concert. It's well designed and clean and was just renovated. Concessions are pretty standard (lots of food and drink choices) and as with most big stadiums, grossly overpriced. Lots of big parking lots at and around the stadium along route 1. Getting out can be a nightmare - hours of waiting if you end up in the wrong spot. Bring extra food and drinks for after the game or show - just in case. read more

I am not a big concert or sports person (in fact, being in a massive crowd gives me the heebie-jeebies, where I'm constantly trying to find the nearest exit and envisioning scenarios of being trampled to death) so going to Gillette has never been in my wheelhouse. But then we got tickets for Metallica and I couldn't pass up a chance to see them possibly perform the Unforgiven live so off we went. The biggest issue for sure with Gillette is the parking situation, both in and out of the stadium. There is only one road for thousands of people, which is the best engineering idea since someone decided to build the rotary of death by Newton/Watertown. Parking falls into three buckets: 1) free general parking at the stadium; 2) prepaid parking at the stadium; and 3) offsite parking along Route 1 (cheers to the entrepreneurial businesses and homes nearby selling parking spots for less than the stadium). Do not do #1 - unless you're ok sleeping in your car or tailgating afterwards. You will more than pay for the time spent sitting there with everyone else trying to leave at the same time. #2 seems okay depending on which lot you pick and whether it's in the same direction as your way back home. We opted for #3, which meant walking in the rain and by the shoulder of Route 1 for about half an hour both ways but at least we were home by a sensible hour and the worst traffic was getting onto I-95. Be aware of the bag restrictions before you come - they lay out on their website you can bring a clear plastic bag or a small wristlet, or else you can either dump it or bring it back to your car. Signage was an issue. We were trying to figure out how to get to the Club level and we ended up basically walking all the way in before the snake pit area before someone pointed us the right way. I'd say Club level is worth it if you go on a day like we did where it was thunder storming right up to when the concert started - it's indoors, with restrooms, seats, and concession stands. Speaking of the latter, the food was slightly better than I expected, which I guess is a super low bar to meet. For a soft drink, veggies/hummus, and two sandwiches, it came out to less than $50 (so in other words, you will pay an arm and a leg for food). The sandwiches were good but my stomach started feeling a little off later on. It was a total zoo after the concert was over and people were scrambling for their cars. Crowd control was at a minimum. Felt like the beginning stages of a zombie apocalypse where everyone's just smashing into each other. PS depending on the artist or event, this isn't a particularly kid-friendly environment. For the Metallica concert, there was a lot of public intoxication where I thought we were one wrong look or snide comment from a fistfight. The couple next to us were drunkenly head banging and getting high and ... there was a little boy sitting right in front of them. Lots of guys with that dead thousand yard look in their eyes that can only mean blackout drunk. And please be careful walking around in the parking areas afterwards - the combo of heavy drinking and rushing home seems rife for a bad accident. read more

Never been in the stadium before, but a few months ago, I attended a Luke Combs concert. For a stadium that's supposed to hold alot of people, I was shocked that the screen was so small compared to it. Also, the sound does not travel to the top well. You're probably better off eating at a nearby restaurant and jamming to it that way. The price of food and drinks were expectedly expensive and stadium booths appear to close very early (probably before 9pm). We had to seek safety due to the on/off thunderstorm and rain, then noticed other concert goers looking for more alcohol. I'm not impressed, but it's a learned experience. read more

I went to my first Gillette Taylor Swift show for the eras tour in May 2023 and it was a dream! I got nosebleeds for the first night and ended up standing on a lower level for the whole show. This was my 4th Eras show, so I sort of knew what to expect. The staff was nice and because I did not need assistance, I did not interact with them much. I am surprised by how cheap the drinks and food was there relative to other stadiums I've been to. Very affordable for a big stadium event. Instead of an escalator, they have ramps doing up the entire stadium. They are steep and long and hard to navigate up and down repeatedly. Expect to walk A LOT. It was actually extremely frustrating and inaccessible. The other big con is their location. Who builds a stadium in the middle of nowhere with only one major road connecting it and its closest city? It took forever to get just out of Foxborough, let alone all the way to Boston, where I and many of the attendees were staying However, I had such a good experience night 1 with Taylor and 70,000 of her fans though, I ended up getting tickets to see the show again on night 2. I bought nosebleed, obstructive view seats. I knew they were lax from the night before about letting people stand where ever, so I ended up standing in the center of the lower level. I had an BEAUTIFUL view of the staff from the center. At this show it poured down rain and was another "iconic rain show" and the energy was amazing, even from the staff. I don't know if they were volunteers or regular stadium stadium, but the employees around us were singing and dancing and having an amazing time, too. read more

This review is based off of the Dead & Co. concert; probably 35K people. This was the easiest stadium to enter, maneuver and exit that I've ever visited. Jerry Jones and the Cowboys should take a lesson here. Parking was easy. Security and ticket scan simple considering the amount of people. There's plenty of food options, restrooms and the seats comfortable for a stadium. We sat in Sec. 133 Row 34, the last row of the lower level. This turned out to be great because there was rain but while others scrambled for shelter we were under the overhang of the 200s. If I somehow how ever return here for a game or concert, I'll be seeking out the 100s rows 33 or 34. read more
