Gillette no shaving in our parking lot !
U2 fans will have to do a 180 if they arrive too early for the band’s 360 Tour concerts on Sunday and Monday.
Gillette Stadium officials said today that fans will be turned away if they arrive before the parking lots open at 3 p.m. both days. Also, fans will not be permitted to line up to access the field and general admission sections before that time.
The stadium gates will open at 5 p.m. each day. The event is expected to draw about 65,000 fans each night, including 7,000 fans on the field.
For the first time during a concert, Foxboro police will have detail officers at several intersections, including along Mechanic Street; Beach and Meadowview; North Street at Payson Road; and Main Street and Pierce. The goal is to keep fans from using the neighborhoods as shortcuts. Police have used the same model during New England Patriots games.
Also, to minimize tailgating, stadium officials will continue the policy of denying parking lot access to fans without tickets.
