Default OT: Bowl Bus - Feedback & Opinions on Bus To/From Gillette

Folks,

I posted this in the tailgating forum but didn't spark any responses

Anybody ever used these guys to get to a game.

Want to get to Gillette early before the Cards game to show the wife round the stadium so train not ideal but can't find much on these guys.

Thanks in advance

I wanted to give this a bump to see if anybody has tried this service before, or may be interested in giving it a try. Traffic to and from Gillette is infamous for being by far the worst in the NFL, and on top of that there is the relatively high price of parking. There is of course the option of taking the train, but that has several drawbacks (i.e., no time to tailgate; may miss kickoff).

It seems to me this would be an alternative well worth considering, whether it be from this company or perhaps another that offers this type of service. I'm sure the community as a whole here would be much obliged to any opinions and feedback if/when they have given it a try.

That would make it much more worth it. It looks like the cost is $45 from most destinations. Which is about how much parking cost anyway.

What I cannot find is how early do they get there and what time do they leave??

I know the train gets there about an hour before and leaves a 1/2 hour after the game ends(from Providence)..

The nice thing about public transportation is that you can avoid the possibilty of getting hit by an impaired driver..

Missed the part "(or when Game completes)". Most games go past 4PM let alone the time it takes to get to the bus after the game.

They should really be more clear about that. "When the game completes" could mean as soon as the clock runs out. I assume they give you at least a 1/2 hour to get back to the buss, but according to their terms they don't have to.

Seriously, not trying to be a wise guy here, but what else would "when game completes" mean other than when the clock strikes zero at the end of the fourth quarter?
