Does anyone know what time people will be allowed into the pits? Thanks in advance

Poncho time! It is raining and cold weather in the Boston area this morning, 12c/53F. Forecasts are stretching the rain until late afternoon, hoping it will end before most fans start to queue outside the stadium around 5pm.

I know today is show day, but has the merch truck been opening the day before the show the last few shows? I know it did for the first few shows but haven't seen anything about that recently. I want to know b/c I'm going to the Orlando show. Thanks!

Yes, the merch truck was open at Gillette yesterday.

Yes, I also visited the merch truck at Foxboro yesterday. Good move - no waiting. In addition to the (stupid IMO) Boston Cream Pie, they had a more generic HD tour shirt that says Foxboro with the date. Nothing on the back though. Guessing those will get snapped up quick later today. Also - they only had them up to XL -but I’m a pretty big guy, and it fits.

Awful weather here this morning.

It says things will clear later. Hopefully.

Did you happen to notice if they offer tall sizes? I’m not expecting it, but it’d be nice to have a shirt that actually fits properly for a change.

Another good poster, what is it referring to ?

Boston cream pie

SOOO ready for tonight!. I am looking for 1 LD or Pit ticket, in case there are any floating out in IORR-land

I’ve never been to Gillette Stadium before. Any tips on parking?

Really jazzed about tonight.

Thanks!

Does anyone know the Lucky Dip gate?

The stadium is outside the city. Unlike Fenway where they played years ago.

It's not a pain to get to or to get in and out but it's not easy either.

You never know where you'll be parking until you get there. Some lots may be full and if there is "free parking" you'll need to get there early, or they'll be full as well.

Get there early! Traffic near the stadium is terrible on event days. Many people park in lots along Route 1 and walk a mile or two to the stadium.

Yeah traffic especially afterwards is a nightmare. At least that has been my experiences. Have another drink and stay a while, nowhere to go

Can you buy these tour posters online?

From an email I got ...
You and your guest must pick up the tickets in person from the main Box Office on the north end of the venue across from the Patriots ProShop and Hall of Fame.
Box Office pick-up time starts at 5:30 PM.

I think it's time foe Memory Motel, would be wonderful. "Back up to Boston I'm singing in a bar"

Yes all posters can be bought on Rolling Stones Store

just pulled my rv in to my friends lot, he has a small business just down the road from the stadium, and I can park here over night.

Hope everyone going has a great time tonight.

Good move.

Be a great night for Memory Motel

Looks like it will start to clear in the next couple of hours.

Miserable day so far.

I hope the pit is not a mess.

Keef must have waved the rainstick...

Feel like I’m here for a Patriots game it is cold and nasty

Sun is out in Boston!
