cheapest parking options for concerts at gillette stadium

if you are heading to gillette stadium on august 6, planning your parking ahead of time is a huge lifesaver because route 1 traffic is a complete nightmare.

honestly one of the best workarounds to save cash and skip the endless traffic exit lines is using an app like prked. you can rent a private driveway or garage space nearby from local residents. it is usually way cheaper than official paid lots, feels safer having your car on someone's property, and lets you get in and out super fast without getting trapped in the main stadium exit queue.

if you want free official parking, gillette actually offers free general parking for concert goers on the land-side of route 1 across from the venue. the big drawback is the exit delay. because thousands of cars are trying to merge onto route 1 at the same time, you could easily sit in your car for over an hour after the show ends before you even start moving.

another really cheap alternative is taking the mbta event train. they typically run round-trip commuter rail trains from boston and providence directly to foxboro station on event days. round-trip tickets are usually around twenty dollars, which saves you both gas and parking fees entirely.

if you prefer to be as close to the gates as possible, official prepaid stadium-side parking costs around fifty dollars, but those passes are limited and sell out quickly online. you can also find various private lots run by businesses along route 1 charging around thirty to forty dollars cash if you arrive early.

hope this helps.
