MBTA Offers Providence To Foxboro Train For New England Patriots Games

PROVIDENCE, RI — There are plenty of questions on the field for the New England Patriots heading into the new NFL season: Can Mac Jones return to form? Will any receiver take the next step? Just how egregious was the offensive coordinator situation last year?

Though those questions won't be answered until later this season, Rhode Island-based Patriots fans won't need to wonder how they'll get to Foxborough for Patriots home games.

MBTA officials announced that round-trip, special event train service from Boston and Providence to New England Patriots home games will run all season long. The roundtrip tickets are $10.

Officials said tickets are exclusively on sale for the Sept. 10 home opener via the mTicket app. Special event train tickets for the remainder of the season will be available for purchase beginning at 11 a.m. on the Monday before each home game via the mTicket app.

Providence special event trains will depart from Providence Station and stop at Pawtucket/Central Falls, Attleboro, and Mansfield before arriving at Foxboro Station.

Boston special event trains will depart from South Station with stops at Back Bay and Dedham Corporate Center before arriving at Foxboro Station.

The complete schedule for each game will be announced closer to the day of the game (find that information here), but each special event train is projected to arrive in Foxborough approximately 90 minutes before kick-off and will depart Foxboro Station 30 minutes after each game ends.

Week 1 for the Patriots sees them playing the reigning NFC champion Philadelphia Eagles and MVP runner-up Jalen Hurts at Gillette Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:25 p.m.
