Two floors (three if you count Tequila Rain) with plenty of TVs, but that's not the only reason this spot is on the list. In the case of a Patriots blow-out, you have the option of bowling or shooting billiards while you're watching the second half.

GILLETTE STADIUM
CBS Scene
200 Patriot Place
Foxboro, MA 02035
(508) 203-2200
www.cbsscene.com
The CBS Scene was going on the list regardless. But shameless self promotion is not the reason it's at the top. If you're up for the challenge of battling game day traffic, The Scene has one of the most unique game day experiences you'll find -- a parking lot full of rabid Pats fans, 135 HD TVs, and the Patriots playing less than a hundred yards away. It's as close as you'll come to the game without having a ticket. There's also no cover charge. Reservations are not accepted, so consider getting there early. There's a 90 minute time limit on tables (you're welcome to move to the bar afterward).
Important Notes for Game Days:
Parking is free for CBS Scene. You will be asked at the gate to prove you were actually at CBS Scene and not at the game, so save your time-stamped receipt.
