Facility Overview

Foxboro Station Parking - Lot 4C is an open-air surface parking facility strategically situated along Patriot Place on the eastern campus of Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts. Serving both daily regional commuters on the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) Commuter Rail Foxboro Line and destination visitors, the lot offers more than 500 paved parking spaces. Because the facility is entirely outdoor surface parking, it boasts wide-open headroom with no low-hanging overhead barriers or vertical clearance limits, making it exceptionally accommodating for large pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, minivans, and commercial transit vans. Standard parking stalls are sized at roughly 9 feet by 18 feet, providing comfortable turn radii and straightforward ingress and egress across broad access lanes.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

Lot 4C offers an unbeatable vantage point directly embedded in Foxborough’s primary entertainment and commercial nexus:

• Gillette Stadium: Located only a 3 to 5-minute walk away, home to the NFL’s New England Patriots, MLS New England Revolution, and major international concert tours.
• The Hall at Patriot Place: An interactive Patriots hall of fame, museum, and pro shop just footsteps from the parking lot.
• Patriot Place Shopping & Dining Complex: Direct pedestrian access to dozens of specialty retailers, eateries, and entertainment venues including Bass Pro Shops, Showcase Cinema de Lux, Scorpion Bar, and diverse dining establishments.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Foxboro Station Parking - Lot 4C connects directly to the regional road network via U.S. Route 1 (Boston-Providence Turnpike), which links quickly with Interstate 95 to the north (Exit 19) and Interstate 495 to the south (Exit 36A). Drivers entering from Route 1 can follow stadium directional signage straight toward the East perimeter lots and Patriot Place ring roads. Transit connectivity is the facility's cornerstone: the dedicated MBTA Foxboro Commuter Rail platform sits immediately adjacent to the lot, providing weekday scheduled trips directly into Boston’s Back Bay and South Station terminals, as well as dedicated event-day train shuttles for major stadium games and concerts. Local transit connections through the Greater Attleboro Taunton Regional Transit Authority (GATRA) also serve the surrounding Patriot Place complex.

Visitor & Driver Tips

On standard weekdays, commuter parking in designated Lot 4C is straightforward and operates on an economical daily rate of $4.00, payable via PayByPhone to avoid late-billing surcharges. However, on major Gillette Stadium event days—such as Patriots home games or stadium concerts—parking regulations, access gates, and pricing switch to stadium event operations. Always review Gillette Stadium parking advisories prior to game day, enter via designated Route 1 stadium lanes, and arrive at least two to three hours before stadium kickoff to bypass heavy Route 1 congestion.
