The stadium is located in Foxborough, Massachusetts, about 30 miles from the heart of Boston. Gillette Stadium has seen its fair share of visitors with the popular New England Patriots, holding a 24-season game sellout streak until 2017. Along with being able to hold over 60,000 New England professional football and soccer fans, Gillette Stadium is also the part-time home of the University of Massachusetts Amherst football team. Various musicians have made their way to the New England arena for large-scale concerts. The Rolling Stones, Kenny Chesney, Taylor Swift, and U2 have all made major appearances at the stadium.

Unlike most major stadiums, Gillette Stadium isn’t located in the heart of a major city. Depending on the day, driving to Foxborough from Boston takes around 35 to 45 minutes, with even more time tacked on during busy game days. This distance makes traveling with a group difficult when you need to keep track of multiple cars for the hike to Foxborough. Renting a charter bus or minibus for your group will keep anyone in your caravan from getting lost during the trip over to Foxborough. Everyone in your group can focus on preparing for a fun tailgate or relaxing before the game while a professional takes care of the driving. Kick back in plush, reclining seats and a climate-controlled cabin while getting the Patriots party started early with on-board amenities like WiFi, TVs with DVD players, and a PA system. You’ll have plenty of space to store grills, coolers, and anything else you’ll need for an ultimate Patriots tailgate.
Traveling to the stadium is only the start. Finding parking is another daunting task for large groups. Parking at the stadium is available on a first-come, first-serve basis and is paid upon arrival. Patriots games and concerts require cars to pay a $40 parking fee while parking for all New England Revolution games are free. If you’re traveling with a relatively large group split into multiple cars, a $40 parking fee per vehicle adds up very quickly. Bus parking at Gillette Stadium is $150 a vehicle and available in Lot 52 near general parking. With a private charter bus rental from National Charter Bus, large groups won’t need to worry about struggling to find parking next to one another. Your entire group will stay together through the duration of your game day festivities.
