THinking of taking my wife to the concert, will be travelling from Albany and wanted to stay at the hotel at the stadium, $550/night. OUCH, so thought of staying away from the stadium in boston or Providence? any thoughts? We were looking at doing 2 nights and instead of driving to the concert,migh thire a limo to bring us (I hate parking crowds)
U@ concert at Gillette, where to stay?
My advice is to forget the limousine idea. It%26#39;s much too expensive. You would need to rent it for 6 hours plus pay $125 for it to park in the same parking lot you would park your own car in. I would drive in yourself and pay the $40 to park. Coming up from Providence isn%26#39;t all that bad. Once you hit Route 1 nearing the stadium, the lanes go from 2 to 3 lanes, and you are directed to park across the street from the stadium. Coming down from Boston always has more traffic problems, with long backups common.
It%26#39;s your call on which city to stay in, but I would suggest Providence as the better option for a short stay with the concert being your main focus. Providence will be lighter on the wallet than Boston would be. Since the concert is on Sunday, you would have Saturday night in Providence and a very good chance of experiencing a WaterFire event along the river. Lots of really good restaurants in Providence as well.
Feel free to ask anymore questions you may have.
