Shopping

Patriot Place , off US 1 next to Gillette Stadium at 2 Patriot Pl., is a shopping, dining and entertainment center with tenants ranging from Bass Pro Shops to Ulta. For football fans, a peek inside the Patriots ProShop, which sells official NFL gear as well as signed sports memorabilia, is a must.

Nightlife

Foxboro's Patriot Place (2 Patriot Pl.) is home to several casual restaurants and bars, and if you're looking to catch a televised sporting event, you've come to the right place. Best bets for starting up a bromance with a Pats fan in a navy blue No. 12 jersey (the exact same one you have on!) include CBS Scene Restaurant & Bar , (508) 203-2200, and Toby Keith’s I Love This Bar & Grill , (508) 543-8629.

Also at Patriot Place is Showcase Live, a live entertainment venue. In addition to concerts by popular R & B, rock, country, jazz and hip-hop artists, the event facility presents comedy shows and children's programs.

Phone (508) 543-0609 for Showcase Live or (508) 543-1450 for Showcase Cinema de Lux.

At Splitsville Luxury Lanes, 12 amped-up bowling lanes + 18-ounce frozen schooners of beer = good times. Inside the retro recreational center is Howl at the Moon , where party anthems rock the crowd at the high-energy piano bar Thursday through Saturday nights. Phone (508) 698-2695.
