The New England Patriots (tel. 800/543-1776; www.patriots.com) were playing to standing-room-only crowds even before they won the Super Bowl in 2002 and 2004. The Pats play from August through December or January at Gillette Stadium on Route 1 in Foxboro, about a 45-minute drive south of Boston. Tickets sell out well in advance, often as part of season-ticket packages. Call or check the website for information on individual ticket sales and public-transit options.
Boston College, another tough ticket, is New England's only Division I-A college team. The Eagles play at Alumni Stadium in Chestnut Hill (tel. 617/552-3000). The area's Division I-AA teams are Harvard University, Harvard Stadium, North Harvard Street, Allston (tel. 617/495-2211); and Northeastern University, Parsons Field, Kent Street, Brookline (tel. 617/373-4700).
