Taylor Swift Foxboro Concert – NBC Boston

Foxboro is preparing for Night 2 of Taylor Swift Eras Tour, including the traffic delays it will cause and the possibility of rain.

Taylor Swift’s IRAs tour kicked off Friday night at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro. Thousands of fans – dressed in themed outfits and even bananas – would flock to the stadium during rush hour on Friday.

“In terms of concerts, it’s a completely different group of people. Many of them have never been here before and don’t know where they are going,” said Anne-Marie English on Friday. “It’s a dead end.”

The Foxboro Police Department has warned that the intersection of Route 1 and North Street will be closed sometime Friday due to expected traffic jams as drivers can only turn right.

The townsfolk plan to walk around for the next few days, but say they are used to it now.

From themed clothing to Taylor Swift’s cakes, the companies are also hoping to capitalize on the rush, as this date has been on their calendars for months since the ceremony was first announced.

“When you have 100,000 people in the city, it certainly kicks up business,” said Craig Carrera, general manager of Union Straw.

Fans should also consider the possibility of rain. Although the start is light, there may be heavy rain in the afternoon/evening and another overnight ride.

Precipitation can accumulate 1 inch to 3 inches in parts of the South and Midwest with winds of 25 mph.

The official Gillette Stadium account wrote that they are monitoring the situation while it rains.

“All concerts come rain or shine, but if public safety officials determine that storms in the immediate area pose a safety risk, we will share instructions on sheltering options until the concert can resume.” they wrote in a tweet.

They added: “Umbrellas are not allowed at Gillette Stadium, so make sure to bring your own dresses!”.
