Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, about 35 km south-west of Boston, is home to the NFL’s New England Patriots and MLS club New England Revolution. It also hosts big concerts and was a FIFA World Cup 2026 venue (“Boston Stadium”). This guide covers the essentials for any event: the event train, free and prepaid parking, rideshare, the bag policy and payments.
Always check the official Gillette Stadium transportation page and A–Z guide for your event.

How to get to Gillette Stadium by train
For Patriots games and many major events, the MBTA Commuter Rail (operated by Keolis) runs special event trains to Foxboro Station, right next to the stadium. There are two routes: one from Boston (South Station) and one from Providence. Event trains need a special event ticket (historically $10 round trip), and they don’t run for every event, so check the MBTA Gillette Stadium page for your date.
