About the stadium
Opened in 2002 in Foxborough, midway between Boston and Providence, Gillette Stadium is home to the NFL’s Patriots and the New England Revolution, with its trademark lighthouse and bridge framing the open north end.
It hosted matches at the 2016 Copa América Centenario — including the group game in which Peru eliminated Brazil — and stages a 2026 World Cup quarter-final.
