The New England Patriots didn’t make the NFL playoffs, but Bostonians can still enjoy some Super Bowl vibes next month when Verizon FanFest takes over Gillette Stadium.

For the first time ever, Verizon announced it’s bringing the ultimate festival for NFL fans to 30 venues across the US on Super Bowl Sunday. Gather ‘round, team — here’s the game plan for the all-ages event at Gillette Stadium on Sunday, Feb. 9.

  • FanFest is exclusively for Verizon customers, who can bring a select number of guests — request tickets.
  • Doors open at 4 p.m.
  • Fans will be able to mingle with host Dave Andrews, surprise NFL legends, the Militia, and Pat the Patriot.
  • The field will be open for tours and tailgate games.
  • Sure, Super Bowl LIX has Kendrick Lamar, but live performances will also keep the party going strong at FanFest.
  • Come hungry — local food will be available for purchase.

Check the Verizon FanFest website for more announcements.
