Gillette
Stadium

Fans
attending a sporting
event or concert at Gillette Stadium will find a world-class facility
with enough seating (including luxury suites), concessions, and
well-lit parking to make them happy.
Located
at 1 Patriot Place, in Foxborough, MA, the Gillette
Stadium opened in 2002. It was the replacement for the well known
Foxboro Stadium. This sports arena is home to the National
Football League’s New England Patriots and Major League Soccer’s New
England Revolution team.
Gillette
stadium’s grand opening took place September 9, 2002 and it was
celebrated in style as the Patriots defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers to
the delight of thousands of fans in the bleachers. The show was also
telecast to a national audience of millions on Monday Night Football.
Today
this showcase arena also plays a willing host to sell out concerts and
other special events. In 2002, the Rolling Stones performed
at Gillette Stadium during their famous “Licks” tour.
Gillette
Stadium has a total seating capacity of 68,756, including 6,000 club
seats that are split between two well appointed clubhouses.
The East and West Clubhouses both have the capacity to easily handle
3,000 guests and these popular seats can be requested 365 days a
year.
Gillette’s
clubhouses are both
more than three stories high and they provide fans with 60,000 square
feet of enjoyment and fun. Clubhouse members can watch
sporting events from the interior of the clubhouse or choose to go
outside to view the games from their seats.
Moving
back and forth
between these two spectator venues is easy because all of the members’
outdoor seating is accessible from the interior of the clubhouse.
Sports
fans at Gillette Stadium also can inquire about possible availability
concerning the 86 luxury suites and 2 Super Suites which are special
stadium features. These suites have special amenities and are wonderful
locations for company parties or other special functions.
These
luxury suites provide space for groups of 16 to 32 people, while the
Super Suites can accommodate up to 70 guests. All of these
suites are self-contained, include sliding windows, and are accessible
from elevators which are conveniently located on both sides of the
stadium.
General
parking rates at Gillette Stadium are
as follows:
- Cars: $40
- RVs:
$125
- Limos: $125
- Buses:
$200
- Motorcycles: $40 (one motorcycle is

Gillette
Stadium is also adjacent to Patriot Place which is a highly popular
open-air complex that offers shopping and entertainment to guests and
visitors. Patriot Place opened in 2007 and the stores,
restaurants and theaters provide wonderful diversions for fans that are
in town awaiting the start of a game or event.
