Kraft Group Challenges Foxboro’s Stadium Fees

The Kraft Group is suing Foxboro over sky-high licensing fees for Gillette Stadium, claiming the town is illegally rebranding millions in payroll costs as “conditions” of their entertainment license — a move they say bypasses state law’s $100 annual cap. Foxboro defends the charges as necessary for public safety, citing the original lease agreement, but the Kraft Group argues no court has ever allowed towns to use license renewals to fund general police and fire salaries — especially for a major event like the 2026 World Cup. With negotiations stalled and the town refusing to issue a license without these payments, the Kraft Group is demanding the court void these “conditions” or reverse the town’s decision.
