Going to Game..Gillette Advice Needed..

Bring some spray deodorant. NE fans stink. You may need to spray some of it around you to offset the stench.

Also, bring dunce caps, NE fans are easily distracted and a bit slow.

I wouldn't worry about it. He could always shower in Pats fans' tears after the game.

Want some advice, contact this fine lady;

lol...Ive actually been to a few Phins games at Gillette and the old Fox...and to be honest Pats fans were pretty cool. I was there when we had that big comeback game with Damon Huard ...sat next to a drunk Santa Clause..

You'll have plenty of time. Lot of restaurants with a wide range of pricing, from Olive Garden to Davio's.

You might try CSB Scene. It overlooks the stadium and you can catch the pregame stuff on the big screens, watch the crowds pour in, and then just leave the restaurant and enter the stadium.

Leave yourself at least an hour to get thru the gate and to your seats. Security is ramped up for prime time games. Hope you can avoid the worst of our fan base, but I expect that will be tough. If you're lucky, you'll be surrounded by long time season ticket holders.

Hey yall, headed to the game tomorrow night and needed some advice to anyone who knows their way around Gillette.

Was gonna tailgate but weather is iffy and I have kids, so does anyone know much about the restaurants around Patriots Place? I know gates open around 4:30..but is there enough time to eat at one of restaurants and get to game on time?

Also wondered if it were possible to get autographs before game...where any of you have had luck with this?

Thanks to anyone who can answer or offer any tips ...much appreciated!

We are sitting in section 105..Row 5...close to field so was hoping fans might be more gentle there..lol. To be honest..its my first game taking the kids and was kind of worried how some fans might be...hopefully they will see kids and layoff some.

Fans there are pretty reasonable. I was at the game last December. Always funny to hear the knuckleheads yell "have fun flying back to Miami" when I live 30 minutes from the stadium. The restaurants there are reasonable, but the lines are pretty long, so add a few extra minutes.
If you've been there before, then you know how much of a ripoff parking is. I parked a mile away in a McDonald's parking lot and still got charged $50.

Yeh...we were gonna go way early and visit Pat Place ..I think stadium parking is 40...wonder how early I should head over? Staying at the Courtyard Marriot like 5 miles away

If a hot little number in ****-me pumps propositions you, then accept.....and then drug him so Pats have to play without Brady.

You mean ass tight Jeans and a pair of Uggs?

Since Im with kids..aged 6 and 11 would it be wise not to wear Phins gear? Guess Im just worried some drunk ass will harass them...which would then piss me off and Mommy would need to bail Daddy out if Jail...lol

Bring an EMP transmitter for Marcia's helmet.

If you're going to the stadium - Find the locker room bugs and destroy them please.

I will also be going to the game tomorrow night. I know i have read that general admission is 40 dollars to park, but why do they sell a parking pass? Do i need a parking pass to park in the stadium lot? Or is it just the 40 dollars to park in that lot?

yeh parking is 40 ..you pay there..not sure why they sell parking passes..

Hello All,

It should be a good game. I'm hopping all players stay healthy.

OP you and the family will be just fine so go and have a good time. Patriots fans are very welcoming and friendly. Good seats, I'm diagonally across the stadium from you. Parking farther out on Rte 1 gets you out of the area much faster. Great facilities but a sucky infrastructure. In the stadium lot figure about and 1-1/2 to get out of the lot. You're better off just chilling out with some food and drinks waiting it out. Around 4 is a good time to roll in. You can run the gamut with restaurants but the higher end ones will take reservations. I wouldn't plan on any autographs.

Thanks a ton for that info man...huge help!

Parking passes are sold by season ticket and suite members. They are pricey, but provide closer access to the stadium and easier in/out than the other stadium lots.

If you want to go early to check out Patriot Place, you are allowed to park for free in designated areas, but only for 2hrs. Then you have to go pay an attendant or get charged $100 when you leave after the game.

Stadium lots will open around 4:30. No pass required, just fork over the $40.

I'd avoid any hassle and leave the fins gear at home. The folks sitting around you in 105 won't be a problem, but when you head to the bathrooms or the concourse....who knows? Night games give fans plenty of time to get well lubricated.

I figured night game and two days before Halloween could get kinda nutty...especially if the Phins were to pull off a miracle and win...

Just remember to wear your full body condoms. I hear that New England has germs that rot your brain and encourage you to lie, cheat and steal your way into feeling like a winner. Your kids definitely don't need to come home with any of that stuff.

The passes are typically for season ticket holders. In my experience at jets and giants games they basically guarantee that you have a spot. Not sure if it'll work different in Foxboro.

Also, I'd probably leave the Phins gear at home. Or wear a coat over it tIl the 4th quarter and if we are up by like 3 scores at the 5 minute mark then you can unveil a nice wake or Tannehill jersey lol. During the game I suspect you'd be ok with it....it's on the concourse during bathroom breaks and entering or leaving the stadium I suspect you're more likely to encounter a douchebag. That's just from years of going to jets-phins games.

Pretty much exactly my plan...got my Landry jersey on under hoody...keep it there and a non phins hat and figure we should be goid

I traveled up there long ago to see Marino and the gang pummel them, before Gilette. Your from Vermont, so I'm sure you know about the MASS holes. They didn't hesitate to throw food at a small kid like I was. I'd imagine they aren't as miserable these days from a sports standpoint, but MASS holes nonetheless.
