The commuter rail is $80 round-trip and sells out β€” book as soon as tickets go on sale, full stop. Traffic on I-95 South post-match is one of the worst exits of any WC venue. If you miss the train, you're in that traffic. Don't miss the train. Patriot Place right next to Gillette has restaurants and bars β€” arrive early and make a day of it.
