Description
Gillette stadium is the home of the New England Patriots football team. The stadium is 16 stories tall, walking at three miles per hour, it takes 8-10 minutes to reach the top of the northeast ramp, which is 1,820 long and rises 180 feet from the plaza below. Every single seat in Gillette stadium is focused exactly toward midfield to provide optimum sight lines.
There are more than twice as many parking spaces in Gillette Stadium�s parking lots as there are parking meters in all of Boston. Approximately 6,300 pieces of blue steel form the structure of Gillette Stadium, weighing in at 16,000 tons. The construction of Gillette Stadium required the removal of 90,000 cubic yards of blasted bedrock, 310,000 cubic yards of total excavated material and the demolition of the old Foxboro stadium and racetrack. The foundation of Gillette Stadium consists of 17,500 cubic yards of concrete, enough to build a sidewalk from Foxboro to Boston (30 miles), on both sides of the street.
