Why is Gillette Stadium Being Called Boston Stadium?

One thing I can't get used to is every talking head from here to California calling Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, "Boston Stadium."  The reason is because FIFA says what brands can be seen inside the stadium and Gillette ain't one of 'em.  Same thing happened in stadiums all across the country like, Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, according to cbsnews.com. It's only temporary.

Massachusetts Chosen as Best Venue in America for World Cup Games

We got some good news about Boston Stadium, according to seatpick.com, Boston Stadium is the best World Cup venue in America.

Seatpick used data from the FBI, hotel pricing, FIFA websites about the venues, and weather forecasts, among other factors.

Gillette, I mean, Boston Stadium was named the best because of these three reasons:

  • The 2nd cheapest beer in the country at $8.58  (Almost $9 bucks for a beer??!)
  • Minimal mosquitos
  • Fairly comfortable temperature of 83 degrees.

Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City came in second because of the cost of hotels and the large capacity of over 76,000 fans.

Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta came in third because they have the cheapest refreshments and lowest crime rate.

Gillette Stadium is the House that Brady Built

We love Gillette stadium and I am so happy that the rest of the world knows it now.  For me, it's the house that Brady built.  Have you ever seen the enormous statue of our beloved Tom? You kinda can't miss it.

Also, it's the place that Kenny Chesney used to play when he came to New England.  He hasn't been here in years and it's kinda breaking my heart, but... his latest single was about a Marina in New Hampshire, so ya never know.

Even if you don't like sports at all, Patriot Place, (Gillette Stadium) is a really fun place.  Filled with shops, restaurants and live music.  Maybe you can make a weekend out of it!  The hotel prices, however, are OUT OF CONTROL, so maybe stay at a friends house.
