The renovations include the expansion and reimagining of the Enel Plaza and grand staircase, creating a welcoming entrance for fans. Additionally, the construction of a new iconic 22-story lighthouse, standing 218 feet tall, will serve as a regional beacon and offer a 360-degree observation deck with breathtaking views of Foxborough Center, Boston, and Providence.
The north end zone project will now provide a complete 360-degree connection on all levels of the stadium, connecting the west and east sides. The installation of the country’s largest outdoor curved-radius videoboard, measuring 22,200 square feet, will enhance the event experience for fans, complementing the existing south end videoboard.
Other notable additions include the remodeled Row of Honor, the Bud Light Celebration Beer Hall, and the G-P Atrium, a glass-enclosed, year-round hospitality and function space bridging the East and West Putnam Clubs and the Dell Technologies Suite levels. The lower concourse will also feature new glass-enclosed markets, self-pouring beer kiosks, and improved food options.
The renovations aim to elevate the guest experience and will be unveiled in time for the upcoming football season, offering fans an enhanced environment to enjoy Patriots and Revolution games, as well as future concerts and events.
