Facility Overview
The P6 Parking Gate serves as one of the premier entry points to the Gillette Stadium and Patriot Place sports and entertainment complex along Washington Street (Route 1) in Foxborough, Massachusetts. Configured as an expansive, open-air surface parking facility, this gate grants seamless access to the North Marketplace parking fields and adjacent stadium-side lots. Designed with wide travel aisles and generously sized stalls, the facility accommodates standard passenger sedans, pickup trucks, minivans, and full-size SUVs with ease. Because it is an entirely open-air lot, standard vehicles do not encounter vertical parking garage clearance limits. During major ticketed stadium events, oversize commercial vehicles, motorhomes, and trailers are strictly redirected away from stadium-side lots to designated oversized vehicle parking on the west side of Route 1, with general vehicles required to fit cleanly within standard 9-foot by 18-foot spaces.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Situated directly along the eastern side of Washington Street (Route 1), Gate P6 is strategically positioned for inbound and outbound traffic. Drivers approaching northbound on Route 1 can turn right directly into the P6 entrance, while southbound drivers have dedicated signalized turning access. Following high-attendance matches or sellout stadium concerts, local police details and stadium traffic controllers direct egress flows onto Route 1 northbound toward Interstate 95 (linking to Boston) and Route 1 southbound toward Interstate 495 (linking to Worcester, Western Massachusetts, and Rhode Island). For transit users, the Foxboro MBTA Commuter Rail Station is located on-site, offering weekday commuter rail service and dedicated special event train roundtrips departing from Boston's South Station and Providence Station on game days.

Visitor & Driver Tips
On non-major event days, retail parking accessed via P6 is complimentary for patrons dining, shopping, or catching a film at Patriot Place. On full-stadium event days (such as Patriots games and major concerts), strict parking operations take effect: retail lots strictly enforce time limits, tailgating is prohibited in retail spaces, and stadium-side parking typically requires a valid prepaid pass or event permit. Always review your mobile event guide or season-ticket pass details before arriving, set your GPS navigation specifically to the designated gate entrance on Washington Street, and plan to arrive at least two to three hours before kickoff or concert start times to navigate Route 1 traffic smoothly.
