World Cup winds down at Gillette Stadium as 64,000 seat stickers come off

As the 2026 FIFA World Cup concludes at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, the 64,000 seat labels bearing sponsor branding are set to be peeled away, returning the venue to its normal state. FIFA’s branding rules required the removals, a task that—at one sticker per minute—could have taken over 1,000 hours. SoFi Stadium is praised as the event’s best venue, and the remaining World Cup games will be held in Miami, Kansas City, Atlanta, Dallas, and New Jersey.

Patriots push for grass at Gillette Stadium amid World Cup spotlight

Patriots players are pressuring owner Robert Kraft to switch Gillette Stadium from artificial turf to natural grass, arguing that grass reduces knee/ankle injuries. Led by Rhamondre Stevenson and Brenden Schooler and echoed by Kevin Byard III and Milton Williams, the players want the change ahead of the World Cup’s use of the venue. With practice delayed until after the World Cup, Kraft faces a timely decision on field conditions that could impact the team’s health and competitiveness.

Kraft Group targets Foxborough with suit over Gillette Stadium licensing fees

The Kraft Group and affiliated entities filed a Norfolk County Superior Court suit against Foxborough, alleging the town exceeded its authority by charging roughly $1 million in new entertainment-license fees for Gillette Stadium, a sum the plaintiffs say goes beyond the statutory $100 maximum and is revenue-driven rather than tied to safety or services; Foxborough says the charges cover public-safety and municipal services for large events and will be resolved through the legal process.

Boston World Cup shuttle to Gillette Stadium priced at $95

Boston’s World Cup host committee will run the Boston Stadium Express, a bus service to Gillette Stadium, priced at $95 per seat with no discounts for children, seniors, or accessibility needs. The service, which aims to move about 10,000 fans per game, will have 20 pickup points and require advance purchase tied to a same-day match ticket. This follows planned MBTA rail fare increases to as much as $80 for a round trip. Officials say the higher prices cover the costs of coordinating World Cup transport, though critics say the overall costs for fans—tickets, hotels and travel—are becoming prohibitive.
