Gillette Stadium is in Foxborough, about 22 miles south of Downtown Boston. Drive time is 50+ minutes in normal traffic and can exceed 90 minutes on match days.
Is there public transit to Gillette Stadium for the World Cup?
MBTA runs special game-day Foxboro Line trains from South Station, but capacity is limited and seats sell out fast for major events. Helicopter charter or rideshare are the alternatives.
