Patriot Place - An Entertainment Destination in Foxboro, Massachusetts
By Molly G. @ The Bumbles Blog
It used to be if you went to Foxboro, Massachusetts you likely were there for a New England Patriots NFL game and then you headed right back to where you came from. But now, Patriot Place - a byproduct of all the Patriots’ Super Bowl winning seasons - has become a destination in and of itself, year-round.
The Kraft family, who own the Patriots, are forward thinking innovators and found a way to turn their football stadium grounds into a constant source of revenue. Surrounding the stadium itself they have created a shopping center, fine dining, hotel, office space, museum, movie theater and concert venue which make this concept the first of it’s kind and thus far, a huge success.
You can find something at Patriot Place for every taste, need and price range. Looking for a fun family afternoon? In the warm weather months you can bring your kids down to run around in The Plaza while free live music is performed on an outdoor stage. Then you can head on in to The Hall football museum and let them try on a Superbowl ring or pretend to kick game winning field goals in the snow. And when they get hungry you can head over to Red Robin for some burgers.
Looking for a night out with friends? Gather at Bar Louie’s for drinks on the roof deck with lots of music and dancing over martinis or microbrews on tap. Or watch the big game at the CBS Scene on the mammoth Jumbotron TV outside while catching some rays on the deck overlooking The Plaza, or tune in to your favorite CBS classic TV shows on the personal TV’s at your table inside.
Date night is easily accommodated from drinks at Tastings Wine Bar & Bistro to dinner at Davio’s fine Italian dining without the hassle of traffic into their downtown Boston location or the expensive parking rates.
A full day of shopping needs are covered with everything from standard anchor stores like Old Navy to smaller boutique styled stores to the Bass Outdoor Store which is an experience in and of itself.
And don’t forget to catch a movie in style in the Lux Level section of the Showcase Cinema De Lux theater to watch favorite new releases. And there is always live music in an intimate setting with fantastic sound at the Showcase Live performance theater.
Patriot Place is a destination worth visiting when you are looking for something fun to do without having to travel into Boston to find it. And during football season, there’s always a warm place to meet before or after the game. It’s almost as big a hit as the Patriots.
