Gillette Stadium crews prepare field for Patriots-Jets, fans urged to use caution on roads
FOXBORO – The Patriots didn't kick off their season finale until 1 p.m. on Sunday. But Gillette Stadium was bustling early in the morning as crews worked to clear snow ahead of the game.
Several inches of snow fell in Foxboro by the morning, with more expected throughout the day.
Gillette Stadium crews were busy Sunday morning, clearing snow with tractors. The heated playing surface helped keep much of the snow from piling up.
On the field, only an inch or two has accumulated by around 8 a.m., compared to closer to four inches outside.
Highway administrator Jonathan Gulliver urged fans before the game to use caution getting to the stadium. He also asked people to be careful heading home as a flash freeze is expected.
