Lighthouse at Gillette Stadium to be closed during World Cup

While the seven World Cup games at Foxborough’s Gillette Stadium will offer fans plenty of chances to experience Boston and parts of Massachusetts, certain local attractions are set to close for the tournament. 

The Gillette Stadium lighthouse will be shut down from Thursday, May 14 to the “conclusion of World Cup events” in July, officials announced in an Instagram post. The lookout space typically welcomes visitors daily between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m.

Along with the lighthouse, the Patriots Hall of Fame will also be closed during that time, officials posted on the website. 

Additionally, the Gillette Stadium Patriots ProShop is moving to a temporary site during the tournament rather than closing entirely, officials said in an Instagram post. 

The temporary shop will be at the South Marketplace in Patriots Place, between Mass General Brigham Sports and Petco. It will operate daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. beginning Thursday. 

Fans can still enjoy other experiences, including the FIFA Fan Festival at City Hall Plaza, tailgating at the stadium, and various places to watch the games throughout the city. 

Tickets for certain matches are still on sale, and fans can secure bus and train transportation to the events.
