It's easy, and only takes a few moments.I haven't been to a home Pats game since they were playing in Foxborough and Bledsoe was the quarterback, so I can't tell you what to expect. Why am I posting in this thread, then? To simply ask you why you're even CONTEMPLATING this? If you have the means to go to this game... YOU GO!!!
Park down on RT.1 Much easier to get in and out of. Bout a 20-30 min walk to stadium
So yeah... i'm highly tempted to get tickets on stubhub.
I know travelling to and from the stadium is a nightmare and parking is a ripoff.
What should a newbie know about going to a pats game?
Having never been there, where on RT1 do you park? On the road? Also, if i decided to park in the parking lot, will i be able to if i got tickets off stubhub instead of through the Patriots?
If you aren't planning on tailgating after the game, I would park in a satellite (private) lot so that you can avoid sitting in traffic for a long time.
From where are you driving?
I forgot Monday is a company holiday for me... but i'm looking at low $300's to $500's in ticket prices on stubhub plus i have to drive 4 hours each way... i'm trying to gather all my facts to see if it's worth it
So very worth it. I know what kind of drive that is, though. It takes me around four hours to get into Georgia from where I'm at. Why not stay at a hotel for the night?
Forget these jaded fellows telling you to park FAR away and slip out before the crowds. This is your FIRST time, make the MOST of it. Parking lots open 4 hours before the game (wink wink, a little earlier than that). Show up then, bring a grill, make friends, drink beer, ENJOY yourself. Seriously, I have made so many friends and met so many interesting people, and shared in the culinary wisdom of the greater New England area. It is a truly great experience.
Park in p10, right across from the stadium, its 40 bucks, but its worth it. After the game, break the grill back out and have some burgers (sober up, cause your car isn't moving for another hour) and ENJOY YOURSELF.
The most exciting part of the day is when you take that long walk into the stadium. It gets the blood pumping, it gets everyone excited, it makes you loud, it brings out chants, you will want to run through a brick wall, trust me. ENJOY YOURSELF!
And before you say anything about the long drive, I've from South western CT, so i know its a haul, but this is what we live for! Friends, fans, beer, food, PATS FOOTBALL. ENJOY YOURSELF!

They don't play in Foxborough anymore?!? Did Kraft sneak the team out at the dead of night and move them to CT after all?
