The affluent and or adventurous can fly. The nearest airports are at Mansfield and Norwood.

Hopedale also has an airport. The main North-South roads are Rtes. 1, 95 and 24. The convenient circumferential roads are 128 and 495. Better nearby secondary roads are Rtes.

106 and 140. might add up to a compelling argument to go via Penn Central. Boston riders can board at South or Back Bay stationsbut not at Rte. 128, since the train will be shunted off the main line at Readvillc, first to the Franklin commuter line, then to a freight track. Tram passengers will have to walk only a few hundred yards to reach a stadium ramp.

Since all games are on Sunday there should be little trouble parking around the two Boston stations. Grey Lines plans a schedule of 11 trips from points around Greater Boston and even from Worcester. Round trip fares will aware that initial snafus and traffic delays are probably inevitable. Their hope is that, with experience, the outbound flow in later games will be more efficient. Public transportation may offer attractive alternatives.

Penn Central plans to run non-stop trains to its East Foxboro station from both Boston and Providence. (Special trains last ran when the Bay State Raceway opened in 1948.) Round trip train fare will be $2.50. Parking in the sprawling stadium lot will be $2, or $3, depending on location. That, plus the fact that the train has the great advantage of its own time-saving right of way, Bus, train service to Schaefer Stadium By A.S. Plotkin Globe Staff The question for today, Patriots' fans, is: How do you move 15,000 cars through two exits of the parking lot onto inadequate Rte.

1 in much less than an hour? The answer, according to Foxboro Police Chief Daniel W. McCarthy, is that it probably can't be done easily at least under the arrangement for this year's games at Schaefer Stadium. The parking lot next to the stadium had a capacity but now is being expanded to handle 15,000. Rte. 1, about the distance of a short lateral pass from the stadium wall, is only wide enough for four traffic lanes.

The state Dept. of Public Works has no present intention of widening Rte. 1 there. The next best thing, it figures, might be installing on game days, rows of plastic cones. The natural assumption is that most of the traffic would want to head North, towards Boston.

That flow, or much of it, would presumably start the 24-mile trip on Rte. 1, then join Rte. 95 at Exit 9, the interchange at Sharon. Thus, the DPW thinking is that three of the four lanes on Rte. 1 should be temporarily set aside for northbound traffic and one for traffic heading south.

This' of course won't set well with those heading South towards Providence and vicinity, or for those wanting to go to mid-state points via Rte. 495. (Providence is 18 miles from Foxboro). The stadium people, the local police (Chief McCarthy's augmented force will total about 75 men for the games) and the DPW's traffic specialists are well JfT SHAR0N ill i li i JR. R.
