Gillette Stadium

Stadium History

Gillette Stadium opened in 2002, replacing the historic Foxboro Stadium as the home of the New England Patriots and New England Revolution. It was built to modernize the fan experience and has hosted major events including six Super Bowls for the Patriots, concerts, and international soccer matches. During the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the stadium will host five group-stage matches and one Round of 32 match. The venue underwent renovations in 2023 to expand capacity and improve facilities for the tournament.
