Hi Guys
We are planning on parking with you 9/2, wondering when your lot will open? We have a small rv, 20', winnebago. How much to park? Thanks

ya wonder why there are so many tickets unsold :evil: at least we are trying to formulate a plan and are checking on opening times.
So many people will assume the lots will be open real early and just show up. Then where do they go?
And if everyone listens and shows up at 3 or 330 route 1 will not hold 15k cars buses and rv's
Jimmy, help us out

There have been so many conflicting statements on this subject that I don't know who or what to believe at this point.

So... I am sticking to the original plan and my bus will be arriving at around noon (not at the Endzone lot unfortunately). Hope to see some of you there!

this information was released to me this morning. I sent pm's to both Bottle of Rum and Tommy B . . . I told them to do whatever they wanted with the information because I didn't want continued anxiety or whatever.

This information is very accurate. The End Zone will not open it's lot until 3PM. They will be fined huge if they break this rule.

The End Zone said that this information was just given to them. The decision was just made.

If you have a room show up whenever.
the hit and run is as good as any religion around this time of year . . .

On Sunday I will just get up a little earlier, drive up RT 1 and see what lots are open or will be opening by 10. If there are any I will call someone who has the phone list and go from there. If none of the lots are opening until 3 then I'll go back to my room, take a nap, watch the Red Sox then go back at 3.

It was explained to me by a state trooper who is a friend of mine as well as one of the managers at the End Zone that there were such traffic issues for the Country Music Festival that the town of Foxboro decided to change certain rules about what is and what is not allowed during concerts - specifically Buffett. Based on the capacity of the lot, the End Zone is not allowed to open until 3PM at the earliest to limit certain issues that were prominent during other shows.

As I mentioned, smaller lots can and will open early. PM me if you want a list . . . anyone can feel free and I would be happy to help.

But the End Zone tailgating will be closed until 3. Sucks.

Parking at Gillette

Post by jimm_3144 »

New here, but wanted to give some info:

I confirmed that the Foxboro Terminals (a great place to park next to Gillette) is also claiming to not let people in until 4 hours before show time.

Part of me belives that they will have no choice but to let people in or route 1 will be completey jammed with cars.

Thanks -Jim
