Gillette Stadium
Whether you’re headed to Gillette Stadium for a Patriots game, concert, or other event, you can take the MBTA to avoid traffic. You’ll arrive at Foxboro station, which is about a quarter of a mile from Gillette.
There are two ways to access Gillette:
- Take the Franklin/Foxboro Line to Foxboro station
- Take an event train to Foxboro station
Take the Franklin/Foxboro Line
The Franklin/Foxboro Line is a regular Commuter Rail service that isn’t timed to events at Gillette and has more stops on the way to Foxboro. Tickets are available through the mTicket app and fare vending machines.
What to Know Ahead of Time
For the Franklin/Foxboro Line, one-way tickets from South Station to Foxboro station are $8.75. You can purchase tickets through the mTicket app or at a fare vending machine.
The $10 Commuter Rail Weekend Pass and Commuter Rail Monthly Pass are both valid on the Franklin/Foxboro Line.
The last Franklin/Foxboro Line train may depart from Foxboro station before your event ends. Check the Franklin/Foxboro Line schedule for more information about stops and departure times.

What to Know Ahead of Time
