Gillette Stadium - Definition and Overview

Gillette Stadium is the home stadium for the New England Patriots football team and the New England Revolution soccer team. Located in Foxborough, Massachusetts, the facility opened in 2002, replacing Foxboro Stadium. The stadium was originally known as CMGI Field before the naming rights were bought by Gillette after the "dot-com" bust. In 2005, Gillette merged with Proctor & Gamble, but the stadium is expected to retain the Gillette name. The seating capacity at what the locals call "The Razor" is 68,000.
