The Cornell Hospitality Tents for the tailgate will be located in Gillette Stadium Lot #22. The lot opens at 8 a.m. The tailgate begins at 10:30 a.m. and will run continuously till sometime after the conclusion of our game. Cornell is sinking a boatload of money into this with free food and non-alcoholic beverages. Bring all of your own alcoholic beverages to the tailgate for you and others.
Should we win, this process will repeat Monday starting at 8 a.m.

(More seriously, are there any policies we should be aware of regarding bottles vs. cans, etc.?)

Yes, bring it all. ::smashfreak::
I don't believe there is anything against glass (or at least the tailgating rules for the stadium don't specify) but I try to bring plastic cups when tailgating there

I was kidding Josh.
Seriously though, I have an inquiry in since it occurred to me that the signs on Route 1 are for lots P1 to P11. No lot 22. So for those that do wish to stop by and don't wish to schlep heavy stuff half way across Foxboro, I'll get the correct 'P' number to follow for parking.

Hospitality Village is in lots 22A and 22B on the south side of the stadium. All should approach the stadium from US 1 north by taking I-95 north or south to I-495 north to US 1 north and then entering via P9, P8, P7 or P6 as available. Those coming from Boston and points north should continue past the exit on 95 south for Gillette Stadium and instead get off at 495 north.

How many hours did you rent the room for? Just kidding. If it's a decent place, it's probably up by the I-95 exit so just go back up there and get on 95 south.
