Gillette Stadium History<\/h2>\n

Replacing the adjacent Foxborough Stadium, Gillette Stadium opened in May 2002 after two years of construction. The first official event was an MLS soccer game in which New England Revolution defeated Dallas Burn 2-0. Originally known as CMGI Field, the stadium\u2019s name changed when the naming rights were acquired when the new stadium opened by razor and personal care product company Gillette, which will hold the distinction until 2031.<\/p>\n

A favorite feature of the stadium is a 22-story lighthouse that\u2019s open to fans with an observation deck at the top to take in 360-degree views of the Boston and Providence skylines. It also has the distinction of being the tallest lighthouse in the United States. The lighthouse was part of Kraft family\u2019s $250 million investment in upgrades to the home stadium of the team they own. Improvements also include a reimagined Enel Plaza with a grand staircase leading onto the concourse, the largest outdoor curved-radius videoboard at a sports venue in the country and more.<\/p>\n
