Foxborough, Massachusetts is as understated and underrated as it comes in New England.
The town is located approximately halfway between Boston and Providence. Its main stretch of roadway is Route 1, a highway better recognized as the Automile in nearby Norwood. It's a sleepy area of a sleepy part of the country, a place where the leaves are picturesque in the fall and snow coats quaint churches and houses as commuters buzz through the area.
Everything changes in Foxborough, though, on a dozen or so weekends each year. That's when anywhere between 40,000 and 50,000 locals from the region pack into the concrete edifice rising from the dirt.
