Gillette Stadium Weather: New England Cold, Coastal Wind, Open-Air Football

By Kevin Roth, sports meteorologist. Stadium weather guide for DFS players and bettors.

Climate

The Patriots play in Foxborough between Boston and Providence. Late-season games regularly play in cold and windy conditions. December and January games can drop into the teens with wind chill well below zero.

How wind and weather play here

Coastal storm influence brings sustained wind through fall and winter. Northeast wind from Nor'easters is the highest-impact pattern for kicking and downfield passing.

For DFS and bettors

Coastal fronts and Nor'easter influence are the main weather angles at Gillette. Late-season wind and cold combine to suppress passing volume and kicking accuracy.
