Transport to Gillette Stadium + Tailgate questions

[MrDanne]

Forget the train! It is unreliable, and any other stops before Foxboro are too far to walk. Once I took the train to Gillette, it arrived late and I missed most of the first quarter. Another time I took the train, it arrived late, and I had to run to the stadium. NEVER AGAIN! Do yourself a favor and take guesswork out of it by renting a car and driving.

Another idea: stay in a hotel close to Foxboro and take a taxi to/from the game.

I trust you mate!

Renting a car it is!

IF we want to try the whole tailgating experience. Is there a special parkinglot for that and are there any special parking lot for us that dont have seasontickets and just want to pay cash when we park our car?

Tailgating occurs in most parking lots but it's an involved process and all private groups. Unless you make plans in advance to join other experienced and well-prepared tailgaters it isn't worth the trouble because you would need to bring food and cooking equipment. Also remember that it might rain, in which case tailgating can get uncomfortable without your own portable canopy. Get to Patriots Place early and enjoy the festive atmosphere of the restaurants and shops.

One alternative that is very expensive: All-Pro Celebrity Tailgate Party @ Patriots Tailgate

We got the tickets from Stubhub, section 329 so not the best tickets but I think we will see Gronks arm from there

What do you think a cab/uber will cost single way from downtown Boston to Gillette?

Thinking about taking a cab to the game and the train at the way back, what to you guys think of that?

Uppers are great actually. Can see the play develop

If you're looking to park and tailgate and have tickets to the game @MrDanne then this option might not be too bad. I've used it in the past and it's a pretty good way to go. The party and parking is directly across from the stadium. When you leave you'll have your own lane heading north and won't run into the stadium traffic until you've gone some distance.

There's plenty of good food with 8 drinks per person and latest prices show the Dolphins game has an Executive Special available for 135 pp plus 50 to park. There are also packages that include game tickets.

Go to Toby Keith's I Love This Bar & Grill at Patriot Place. Decent food, good basic bar atmosphere for the pre-game and people are quite friendly as they get primed for the game.

What the man said.

One thing you should know and bear in mind is that what you can bring into the stadium is VERY restricted (look on the site for exact details) and stringently enforced.

This includes a clear bag only policy btw.
