Venue Quirks: Gillette Stadium on Show Night
Gillette Stadium is in Foxborough, MA - not Boston. Route 1 traffic post-show is a nightmare that can add two hours to your drive back to the city. The MBTA Commuter Rail Patriot Train from South Station is the only civilized transit option and runs specifically for stadium events. Book the return train ticket in advance. Patriot Place mall adjacent to the stadium has decent pre-show food that beats the stadium concession pricing.
Regulars call it "The Razor" - use that when you talk to staff at the gate, it reads as insider knowledge.
