wilheim said:I have been to dozens but all to the old Schafer stadium. In fact I was at the very first game (exibition) back in the early 70's. I understand Gillette is great but have never been there. Two pieces of advice
1, Dress very warmly
2. Bring lots of money.

wilheim said:You have a choice between Logan (Boston) and Providence, natrually Logan has more flights and your travel agent can probably set you up with transportation to Foxboro from Boston. You don't need a limo - I am a bit out of touch but would ask my travel agent to set up transportation back and forth from Logan to Foxboro as part of the package. You may get some more up to date travel advice from posters still living in the area.

wilheim said:From Logan Foxboro is about 25 miles. You can rent a car but there will be lots of traffic and the route is complicated for a stranger. I-93 to I-95 to Mass Rt 1. Plus getting out of the airport itself.

Are you planning to arrive in the morning and fly out after the game skipping any hotel rooms?
That makes two of us wil. I still have the card they gave everyone as they entered to prove we were in attendence. I remember it was against the Giants, the game ended around midnight, and I believe we finaly got out to route one by three a.m.wilheim said:I have been to dozens but all to the old Schafer stadium.

WildBill said:The traffic is still an insane joke. Don't even think of taking a cab out of there to the airport if that is on your mind. I went to a US soccer qualifier there with I think about 30,000 fans at the old stadium. I kid you not it took us almost 2 hours to get back to Boston! That is the worst designed stadium location in the country. You might as well park about 5 miles and walk, you will save yourself an hour.

Amazing after all these years that they have improved on all the amenities and the stadium itself but zero on what brung you.
We had an arrangement to park in some townies yard at least two miles away and would walk through the back streets, woods, along the railroad tracks, (usually in a snowstorm or pouring rain) and across the parking lot and no question it was the lesser of two evils compared to parking in that lot.
Bigbet … WildBill is right on regarding taking train and it’s ease.
