That 10 mph CSX speed limit is bad enough between Walpole and the stadium, but from Framingham it would be a killer. And I doubt that the MBTA is going to budget money for a line that would be used only a few Sundays a year.
The same story also reported that the MBTA will now sell advance tickets for the Patriots trains.

I'm that guy who runs through the parking lot at full speed to catch a football while slamming into a guard rail going head over heels landing face first in the pavement and still be able to get up with the football in hand... okay maybe I didn't catch the football but how I ever waked away with just a few scratches on my legs is beyond me. (I have never seen so many people laugh at me)
On another note for people that do take the train you always see them running (especially if there on the opposite side of the stadium in the noise bleed section) the trains departing 30 minutes after game time is pushing it for some people. I know for sure I would be that idiot looking for a taxi to get me back to my truck... *shakes head*

the MBTA does not run trains to Gillette for Rev's games, maybe if they are in playoffs, but not regular season, there are too many games
