Overview
- Boston's World Cup host committee, which updated its policy Monday, said tailgating is allowed under local rules at Gillette Stadium.
- FIFA clarified earlier this month that it has no tournament-wide ban on tailgating and that venues should follow local regulations and public safety rules.
- Parking for World Cup games will drop to roughly 5,000 spots from more than 20,000 on typical NFL days, which will limit how many fans can tailgate.
- Organizers are urging public transit, with special-event fares set at $80 round trip for MBTA trains and $95 for express buses to Foxborough.
- Seven matches are scheduled in Foxborough, including group games, a Round of 32 match, and a quarterfinal, and expanded security and event zones will take over large sections of the lots.
