I've only been to a handful of Patriots games in the past 10 years, since the tickets are expensive and hard to get. When I've gone, I've taken the train, and the train leaves promptly 30 minutes after the game... and, if you're in the upper deck at Gillette (which is usually where I am), it probably takes a good 30 minutes to negotiate all the winding ramps and stairs and walk to the train, and that's if you do it with no one around. If you try it with the entire exiting crowd, you're screwed. And, luckly, most of the games I've been to have been decided well before the final minutes, so I've left with around 7 or 8 minutes to go and listened to the game on my Walkman as I headed to the train.
I did see them in South Florida, a few years back, and Miami pasted the shit out of them, but we stayed until the end anyway. I also saw them in Buffalo back in '97 and '98 when I lived in Syracuse and, again, we stayed until the end.
