Gillette Parking
 
Any advise on parking at events. I am taking my daughter to see a concert tomorrow night and would love not to sit in a traffic jam for hours after the show or is that the norm. Have not been there in a long time. Thanks P.

OMG - One Direction----- Good Luck

Paul I think Gillette for concerts isn't nearly as bad as other places. I recommend parking in a lot on the side of route 1 that favors your direction of exit. Slip the kid a few bucks to park you closer to the entrance.

my wife and daughter are going saturday night...i advised her to park in a satellite lot outside of Gillette...not sure if it will help but it cant hurt...

Pay a friend of family to taxi you to and from the stadium. You figure the cost of parking, gas and aggravation could amount to good cash for that person.

You are a freakin saint to be going to see one dimension. My daughter is going with a friend and her Mom. Glad I didn't get that duty. Enjoy the show. :smash:

i usually park at the lot by the driving range. A little bit of a walk but not too bad, considering the quick escape. Good Luck.

Paul, I think one of the best routes you could take would be 495N to 95N to exit 8 South Main St. Sharon/ Mechanic St. Foxboro. At the tail end of the ramp stay left, merge onto Mechanic St. Follow it roughly for 3/4 of a mile and turn right onto Beech St. This will be your first right after the veterinarian office. Follow to the end (maybe 2.5 miles) this will bring you to North St. At that point turn right, follow to route 1as you approach Rt.1 turn left into Foxboro terminals this is at the corner of North St. and Rt1, parking should be $30 , sorry not quite sure on price because it does vary On events.
As you pull in follow it all the way down at the first jog in the building stay left for a short distance then you'll be bearing right this will bring you right to the tracks from there you will park and walk left onto the tracks, this will bring you out to the train drop off at Gillette . This
is what I found to be the best for me.


Good luck at the show.

Like I said last night to you, if you don't mind the walk, the Golds' Gym lot is pretty easy out. If you can take a chance try P2 but if full you'll have to do a u turn at the light. Do NOT park in P 11 or the other large lot across the street from the stadium.
good luck and don't sweat it, it is what it is

I second slip the golds / rodman lot is where I usually park

See you again at Plugfest. You might be home by then

Raider Ronnie 08-07-2014 08:28 AM

I'm 3.5 miles away.
How much you want to pay for taxi service to & from ?

LOL. Thanks Ron but I would not impose that on anyone. My sister in law lives in Walpole just over the line and she would not even offer.

I just bring a grill, get out of the event and fire it up, have a burger or something while everybody fights their way out....then clean up and drive out.

ProfessorM 08-07-2014 04:08 PM

Made it. Now if we can avoid getting struck by lightening it will be a great time for my daughter.
