Foxborough is a New England town in Massachusetts, and for many visitors it is best known as the home of Gillette Stadium. The stadium is where the New England Patriots play, and it also hosts major concerts through the year, so a trip here can be built around a football game, a music night, or simply a day of exploring the area.
Plan around the stadium
Gillette Stadium anchors most visits. If you are coming for a game or a concert, allow extra time for arrival and departure, since crowds gather in the area on event days. The stadium's surroundings make it easy to fill the hours before or after the event.
Shopping and dining nearby
Patriot Place sits close to the stadium and offers shopping and dining, which suits a relaxed meal before a game or a stroll once the crowds have thinned. It is a convenient way to combine a day at the stadium with an evening out.
A small-town visit
Beyond the stadium, Foxborough has the feel of a New England town. Its common and quiet streets offer a change of pace from event-day energy. Visitors who want to see the town at its own rhythm can walk the common, look around the surrounding streets, and take in the small-town character that gives the place its appeal.
