Make sure not to miss the resort’s resident goats, Cornelius and William, who will be decked out in Patriot’s jerseys for the game – the true G.O.A.T(S) of Gurney’s Newport.

Need a break from the game? Head to Gurney’s ice rink for a quick glide along the Newport Harbor, or cozy up in one of the new heated outdoor igloos covered in twinkle lights on the Regent Deck.
