Places To Visit

Foxborough was settled in 1704 and incorporated in 1778 and was named after Charles James Fox, who was incredibly passionate about colonial independence as a British Parliament member. Foxborough is home to New England’s largest sports arena and attached to 24+ stores, 25 restaurants and 17 entertainment centers. In the Uptown area, travelers can experience the town’s history and choose from a number of different dining and shopping options.

Here are a few places to check out while in town before and after the game.
