No. I imagine much like every casino outside of Vegas, sports betting is illegal.

Haha well yes.

But in this case I think it is fair. Why should hard working mass money go to CT when it could stay here?

Personally I think it should go somewhere that could use the boost too. Foxboro is fine but there are towns/cities in Mass that could really use the boost that a casino could bring.

But the point is, when they go out, they go OUT.

Outside of Foxboro, outside of Gillette Stadium. They don't walk across the street.

Boston, Providence, or wherever it is they party is not walking distance from where they work. Access to it is LIMITED. Partying every night of the week and maintaining employment would not be feasible.

With a casino next to Gillette, access would not be limited.

Partying every night of the week would be feasible.

Read that Pearlman book on the Cowboys if you think too much partying amongst an NFL team can't have repercussions.

Idiots will do idiot things irrespective of the distance he has to travel. Guys who do the right thing will do the right thing regardless of the proximity of temptations around him.

The casino will affect the locals' commute more than anything here.

I want a job there...ya know the old geezer that can hardly stay awake and he's security...if you work there, you can't gamble there.....

It's either that or the Walmart greeter job....

Oh this is so sweet! As a raging gambling junkie who is also deeply addicted to the patriots what more could I ask for???

Right after I enjoy a good old fashioned beat down given from the patriots to whomever they play, I plan on bringing the money my mother in law left my kids for college across the street and tripling it!!!!

No worries if it doesn't work out the first try, I'm sure I can figure out how to use the deed to my house as collateral and win it all back tenfold!

I can already feel the rush of watching the cards flip, the slots turning, and everyone's favorite wheel spinning! Woohoo! Can't wait, my future just got brighter, ill be a rich man after this joint opens!

Fix the Parking and Traffic problems Bob.

***Brady_to_Moss*** · 12-02-2011, 05:49 PM

the traffic problems will never be fixed..that's the problem with a stadium in the middle of nowhere with one road in and one road out...get use to it..it will never be fixed

Instead of tailgating now i can gamble..yes

Traffic could be greatly alleviated were they to build an I95 interchange right behind the stadium. Using P10 or whatever to build a casino, hotel, etc. without doing something like I proposed will make parking and game exit horrendous.

Everything there is amazing but I wish it was JUST a football stadium
