Section 311 at Gillette Stadium

(2026 Review) - Upper Deck Location: The 300 Level is the top tier of the stadium, with surprisingly solid sightlines — especially for football.  Lower vs. Upper Rows: Each section splits at rows 1–7 (lower) and rows 8+ (upper); aim for the first seven rows when available.  Row 8 Obstructions: Some seats just above the tunnel (around row 8) have views blocked by railings.  Sun & Wind Caveats: Sections 301–314 catch late-afternoon sun, and edge sections like 301 and 340 can get very windy.  Football-First Level: The 300 Level is rarely open for MLS games.  Who Should Sit Here  The 300 Level at Gillette Stadium is a great fit for football fans who want a full-field perspective without paying lower-bowl prices. It works best for those willing to target the closer lower rows, and for anyone who values a wide view of the action over being right on top of it.  300 Level Seating Details  The 300 Level is the stadium's upper deck. Each section is divided into a lower portion (rows 1–7) and an upper portion (rows 8 and above). When you enter a section, you walk down toward rows 1–7 or climb a staircase to reach rows 8 and up. The gap between rows 7 and 8 is significant, so we highly recommend buying in the first seven rows when seats are available — you skip the extra staircase and sit closer to the action. Sideline seats always sell out first for football games.  Views from the 300 Level  Despite being at the top of the stadium, the 300 Level offers some good views, particularly for football. The lower rows (1–7) sit closer to the field and deliver the best sightlines. Be aware that some seats immediately above the tunnel, such as row 8, have views obstructed by the railings.  Good to Know  Sections 301–314 usually get blinded by the sun in the late afternoon, which can be especially annoying for evening concerts. Edge sections like 301 and 340 can get very windy, so dress accordingly for cooler games. 

- When open, the 300 level sideline sections offer good midfield views, although at a distance. To sit as close to midfield as possible, look in sections 309-310 or 331-332. Not only are these upper level sections, but they are also some of the biggest in the stadium. Each section has 29 rows. The first 7 rows are much closer than rows 8-29 due to a walkway that enters at row 7. 

- If you are looking for a more affordable ticket option for an end stage performance at Gillette Stadium, the Upper Level Side sections offer some decent options at a fraction of the cost of a lower level seat. The very best of the seats here for a traditional configuration are found in the lower rows of sections 311-312 and 329-330, where the proximity to the stage helps curb some of the deflation of being so high up in the stadium. It is important to stick to rows 7 and lower whenever possible, as the sections here are split into a lower and upper portion by a set of stairs. The upper portion begins at row 8 and feels much higher and further due to the additional set of stairs you need to climb from the upper level concourse. Rows 1-7 have a much closer feel to the performance, and also keep you near the conveniences of the concourse. If you find yourself searching in sections any further north (further from the stage) than section 308 or 333 for a traditionally configured performance, we recommend just opting for the best priced ticket you can find in rows 7 and lower as the views will feel far no matter what. Sections on the Upper Level Side run as high as row 26 at the very top, with rows 8 and higher located above the concourse, and rows 7 and lower beneath. 

- Located on the third and highest tier from the field of play, and running along the sidelines is the Upper Level sideline. Sections 305-314 on the east sideline (Patriots side) and Sections 327-336 (visiting side) comprise this 20 total section seating location that may be far from the action, but provides good lines of sight to all areas of the field from a sideline perspective. Sections 309 and 310 are closest to the 50 yard line on the East side, Sections 331 and 332 are closest to the 50 yard line on the West side.
