🚀 MATCHDAY UBER/LYFT SURVIVAL HACK (DESTINATION)

How to beat the Surge Pricing at Gillette Stadium (Boston):

Gillette Stadium is notorious for single-lane traffic locks on Route 1. Gridlock inside Lot 15 can trap cars for 90+ minutes. Walk over to the outermost retail exits of Patriot Place or Route 1 North gas stations before calling an Uber. Better yet, stick to the event train!

Official Gate Drop-off Area: Designated rideshare drop-off and pick-up is strictly restricted to Lot 15.
