Hotel questions

Can I stay in Boston and get to the game without a car?

Yes. The MBTA runs event trains for every Patriots game from South Station, Back Bay and Dedham Corporate Center to Foxboro station, about a quarter of a mile from Gillette. Buy the $20 round-trip ticket in the mTicket app once it goes on sale the Monday before the game.
