Gillette Stadium Foxborough
Capacity: 64,628

Gillette Stadium is more than a venue—it’s a modern landmark for major sports and concerts in New England. As the home of the New England Patriots, it’s built for big moments, with sweeping stands that welcome tens of thousands of fans and an atmosphere that ramps up the closer you get to the bowl. The design feels bold and unmistakably American: spacious, highly functional, and focused on clear sightlines across most seating areas.

Inside, the experience is tailored for large-scale events: intuitive concourses, well-marked routes, and a steady flow that helps you settle in before the show. Visitors often highlight the overall visibility, comfortable seating across many sections, and a strong live-event sound setup that works well for concert productions, supported by plenty of food and drink options throughout the stadium.

You’ll find it at 1 Patriot Pl, Foxborough, United States, directly next to the Patriot Place complex. Getting to the gates is straightforward thanks to extensive parking areas and clearly defined drop-off zones, with event-day signage guiding you to the right entrance.

Frequently asked questions

What is the capacity of Gillette Stadium?
Gillette Stadium in Foxborough has an official capacity of 64,628 seats. This gives spectators a wide range of seating options, from premium tribunes near the floor to upper rows with panoramic views. The capacity places Gillette Stadium among the more important venues for World Cup 2026, and the atmosphere during big events depends on how full the lower home sectors are. Booking tickets early is recommended — the best-view sections sell out fastest.
Who is the home team?
The home team is Iraq, hosting this match at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough. Home fans traditionally shape match tempo, and Iraq averages more points at home than away. The visiting side Norway faces the added challenge of travel and adaptation, which in elite competitions often means preparation without rest days between matches. Home-team status here also means the choice of dressing room and first warm-up access.
When is the match played?
The event is scheduled for 16. June 2026 at 18:00 local time in Foxborough. The local start may differ from your time zone — being near the venue two hours before start is recommended for security checks and getting your bearings. Doors typically open 60 to 90 minutes before the start. If you're traveling from abroad, factor in arrival time given local public transport and possible congestion.
How much does a ticket cost?
Tickets for this match start at 277 € via Viagogo and other verified partners. The exact price depends on the sector, seat category (away, neutral, home, premium box) and demand, which rises closer to match day. Prices are in euros and include platform fees and mandatory buyer protection. The cheapest tickets are usually in upper away sectors, while premium box prices can be several times higher.
How do I buy tickets through Karlobag.eu?
Clicking the 'Buy tickets' button redirects you to our partner Viagogo where you safely complete the purchase. Karlobag.eu is not a ticket seller — we aggregate offers from verified partners and help you find the best price. We don't add any commission to the buyer; the price you see is charged directly by Viagogo.
Can I cancel or resell my ticket?
Cancellation policy depends on the partner where you bought your ticket. Viagogo offers an authenticity guarantee — if the ticket doesn't arrive on time or isn't valid, you get a full refund. Cancelling regular tickets isn't permitted. Resale is only possible if the partner explicitly allows it. Check the terms before purchasing.
How do I get to Gillette Stadium?
Gillette Stadium is located in Foxborough. Most major venues are accessible by public transport — bus, tram, metro or commuter rail typically run to the nearest station. We recommend arriving at least 60 minutes before the start. Detailed information about the location, nearest airport and hotels nearby is available in the venue section on this page.
What happens if the match is postponed or cancelled?
In case of postponement (weather, security reasons), tickets typically remain valid for the new date that the organiser announces later. If the match is cancelled entirely without rescheduling, Viagogo issues a refund per their policy (usually within 7-14 days). Check status directly with the seller — they notify you by email as soon as the decision is known.
Are the tickets authentic?
Yes, all tickets sold via the verified partners we work with (Viagogo, SportEvents365, Ticombo, StubHub and others) come with an authenticity guarantee and refund if the ticket isn't valid. If a ticket isn't authentic, doesn't arrive on time or is refused at the gate, the partner covers a full refund under their terms. We work exclusively with licensed resellers operating in accordance with European ticket purchase regulations.
How do I receive my ticket after purchase?
Most tickets today are electronic — they arrive by email as a PDF or as a mobile ticket saved in your digital wallet. For purchases more than 7 days before the match, the ticket usually arrives within 24-48 hours of payment, while last-minute purchases often arrive within a few hours. Physical tickets are sent by courier when the partner explicitly indicates this. If you don't receive your ticket in time, contact partner support (Viagogo) via your customer account.
