Fans must use I-95, I-495 or Route 140 to access Route 1 and Gillette Stadium.
CLEAR BAG POLICY IN EFFECT
Fans attending either concert are reminded that bags larger than a small wristlet or handheld wallet will not be allowed inside Gillette Stadium, per the venue’s clear bag policy, which is in effect at all ticketed events.
