Most importantly, away fans occupy section 116 in the lower level of Gillette Stadium.

Depending on the nature of a football fixture at New England Revolution stadium, the away end can accommodate up to 2000 away fans.

In 2023, Gillette Stadium underwent a major modernisation upgrade, which included the addition of a 22,000-square-foot video board and food stands such as Pepsi Grab & Go.

While home to New England Revolution Football Club is not currently being used to host Club World Cup matches, Gillette Stadium is set to be used during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which the U.S.A. will co-host alongside Canada and Mexico.

The stadium was given construction approval just before the turn of the century, with construction then beginning in March 2000. After two years, it finally saw its first event, when New England Revolution battled it out with Dallas Burn in May 2002. The exterior wasn’t finished, but the interior was, with the hosts running out 2-0 winners.

Gillette Stadium points to the region’s colonial past, while a stylised lighthouse and bridge welcome fans at the Patriot Place Gate. New England’s coastal heritage is also highlighted in the design. Inside, the stadium prides itself on fan satisfaction, largely through unobstructed views, where every seat points directly toward midfield to provide maximum viewing.

National Football League icons, the New England Patriots, also play at Gillette Stadium, which has hosted college football, ice hockey, and lacrosse matches over the years, as well as several high-profile music concerts.

Several gathering areas on the Main and Upper Concourses encourage fans to socialise before and after matches, while the Putnam Club and various other exclusive suites are among the country’s finest.
