The 2023 NFL season saw the completion of a $250 million renovation of Gillette Stadium, the largest since its 2002 opening. Key features include a 22-story lighthouse with a 360-degree observation deck, the largest outdoor curved-radius videoboard at a sports venue, and new gathering spaces like the DraftKings Sports Zone and Cross Insurance Club. Additional upgrades include enhanced fan amenities such as increased restroom capacity, new concession options, luxury suites, and improved connectivity throughout the stadium.
The Gillette Stadium Lighthouse was reimagined as part of our north end zone expansion project, bringing an iconic experiential feature to the stadium that fans of all ages can experience and enjoy. The top of the structure stands 22 stories above the playing field and is the tallest “lighthouse” in the United States! The 360-degree observation deck, known as the Lookout, provides spectacular panoramic views of the stadium and the surrounding area, including the Boston and Providence skylines.
When Gillette Stadium opened its doors in 2002, a bridge and lighthouse were designed into the architecture to reflect an important part of New England’s coastal history. There are more than 160 lighthouses throughout New England, with Boston Light being the oldest continually used and last staffed lighthouse in the country, dating back to 1716. Gillette Stadium’s new signature-view Lighthouse aims to serve as a beacon for the region and a symbol of our proud coastal and maritime history while providing guests with the opportunity to experience Gillette Stadium on non-event days.
The Lighthouse Lantern Room, an intimate indoor space connected to the observation deck, can also be rented for private events and functions, and can be used in conjunction with the brand-new G-P Atrium.

Gillette Stadium is located in Foxborough, Massachusetts, 29 miles southwest of downtown Boston and 25 miles northeast of downtown Providence, Rhode Island.
