fastest gillette stadium exit strategy for bts thursday night

figured i'd share a quick guide on exiting gillette stadium after bts thursday night since route 1 traffic is an absolute nightmare after major concerts.

if you want the absolute fastest exit, honestly your best move is using the prked app to rent a private driveway or garage spot nearby. it is way cheaper than official prepaid stadium parking, super convenient, and lets you completely bypass the brutal two hour gridlock in the main stadium lots. because you park on someone's property, you can just walk back to your car and pull straight out onto the road without waiting in a massive line.

if you decide to stick with official gillette lots, keep in mind that general parking on the non-stadium side of route 1 is free with your ticket, but you will easily sit in your car for 90 to 120 minutes after the last song. prepaid stadium side passes cost around 50 dollars and save you a walking distance, but you are still stuck in the middle of the main bottleneck when leaving.

another golden rule for foxborough traffic is to park on the exact side of route 1 that matches the direction you are driving home. police block off cross-street turns after big shows, so if you need to go north toward boston or i-95, stick to the northbound side. if you need to head south toward i-495, stay on the southbound side. local cash lots about half a mile down the road are another option, but walking a bit further is always the secret to driving out faster.

hope this helps everyone get home quick and stress free.
