Also, I’ve been to Gillette Stadium for an MLS game, so I share my thoughts and recommendations on the food and drinks.

My Recommendation via Food

I went to an MLS game at Gillette Stadium in 2023 and my friends and I tailgated in the general parking lot across from the stadium. Tailgating is the way to go when catching a match or event at Gillette Stadium. We got to the stadium about three hours before kickoff and enjoyed the tailgating experience. If you are looking to save some money on food and drinks, consider tailgating before your event. Also, Patriot Place has numerous bars and restaurants that are right next to the stadium to check out as well. Just know that these places will be packed before a game or event, so you will have to arrive about three hours before the event just to get a table before the event starts.

 

For the food and drinks inside Gillette Stadium, I recommend the Stadium Pizza. The line for that stand tends to move quickly, and the portion size for the money you spend tends to be a good deal.

 

Also, I got a beer from an express checkout stand at the Marketplace. My recommendation is to go to an express checkout lane if you only want to grab drinks for the game. Don’t waste your time waiting in a traditional concession stand line for that.

 

Can you Bring Outside Food into the Stadium?

According to Usebounce.com, all outside food and drinks are prohibited from entering the stadium. Also, from my experience, the security staff won’t allow you to bring any food or drinks into the stadium as you go through the security checkpoint.

 

Can you Tailgate and Eat Before a Game?

 

You 100% can tailgate before a Revs / Patriots game in the parking lots at Gillette Stadium. I did just that in September for a Revs game with my friends. Feel free to bring tables, lawn chairs, games, food, coolers, and more for tailgating. In my experience, tailgating and eating before a game is the way to go if you don’t want to spend too much money on food and drinks at the venue.  Just be sure to leave traditional backpacks and coolers in your car before heading to the stadium since you can’t bring those items inside. Visit the Gillette Stadium Bag Policy page to see what you can and can’t bring into the venue.

 

Also, if you don’t want to tailgate in the parking lots, there are numerous bars and restaurants in “Patriot Place” that you can go into before a game. Just as a reminder, these places are going to be packed, especially before a Patriots game. Therefore, expect the waiting time to be long if you want to get a table at a restaurant outside of the stadium.

Conclusion: Gillette Stadium Food

In summary, I went to Gillette Stadium for an MLS game in September 2023. My recommendation for anyone going to the stadium for an NFL or MLS game is to tailgate before heading into the stadium for your event. Tailgating, especially for an MLS game, was a lot of fun and save me money since I wasn’t as hungry or thirsty when I got into the stadium.

 

My recommendation is that if you only want to grab a drink at the stadium then go to the express checkout lane. There are multiple express checkout lanes at the stadium that move fans quickly through the checkout process. Don’t waste your time waiting in a traditional concession stand line to grab drinks.
