Anyone else do it? You cant beat the price! $12 round trip and no traffic. Also, is there anything in particular I should know before taking it?

It's awesome! It leaves the stadium for the return trip 30 minutes after the game, so if the game goes into OT the train waits. Except for missing out on the tailgate, it's the best way to go. You'll get home probably 2-3 hours before you would if you drove from Boston or Providence.

How many trains go to foxboro on that day ? time?

Pujo

One from Boston and one from Providence. There isn't regular service to the stadium (there's not even a station there), it's just a special train each from South Station and Providence Station.

1 train from South Station and 1 train from Providence.

Its the "event" train. It definitely beats driving if you live in the city. You can drink as much as you like :-)) and trust me, most people on the train are doing just that in my experience.

Dont expect the bathrooms to be a real pretty show on the train.

Mogamedogz

the schedule says two. One inbound from Providence, and one inbound from Boston. Both depart from their stations at 2pm and arrive at Gillette at 3pm.

I go to the games alone, so the train looks like it could be a pretty nice option for me. Im sick of paying $50 to park and getting stuck in all that traffic on Rt. 1. It sucks ass.

Cant be any worse than the Port-a-john's in the lots!

This is the MBTA. Last week the train was full so it simply skipped stops. Another week it broke down and stranded people for several hours in Walpole late at night. Often there are no seats on the train, but the track to Foxboro is in such bad shape they cannot add enough cars to carry all the poeple that want to go. They use an old freight line that needs to be renovated. The train goes to Walpole then stops for 10 minutes and reverses direction. On its best day, it beats parking, but most days are not its best. For all the $$$ Kraft is throwing into Patriot Place, he still has not found a practical way to get in and out of the stadium. Compared to other cities, this one is at the bottom of the convenience list.

The one from the south has been good but last week was a total cluster Bleep! Packed to the gills, try and get on the train at the first couple stops or plan on standing. Its nice to save the cash but if it continues to be packed like this I will go back to driving and tailgating.

My season tix buddy lives next door in Sharon. He claims that local environmentalists (he's a lefty liberal himself) won't let Kraft build an outlet road to I95. I have no idea of the truth of this statement as my buddy's touch with factual reality is tenuous.
