History of Gillette Stadium
History of Gillette Stadium
Built in 2002 to replace the old Foxborough Stadium, Gillette Stadium became the new home of the New England Patriots and later also for MLS side New England Revolution. Originally named CMGI Field, the stadium was later renamed after Gillette acquired the naming rights.
Since its opening, Gillette Stadium has hosted countless matches, unforgettable moments, legendary athletes, and world-renowned artists. In 2023, it underwent a $250 million renovation, transforming it into a modern, state-of-the-art facility. A key highlight of the upgrade is the addition of a 22-story tower known as “The Lighthouse,” offering visiting fans 360-degree views of the stadium as well as the city of Boston.
