Patriots games a boon or bust for local businesses

Like most New England Patriots fans, Greg Spier is happy that the team earned a home playoff game this season by winning its ninth division championship in 10 years.

But Spier, a property manager who owns the Pine Brook Office Park on Route 1 in Foxborough, has an extra reason to cheer when the Patriots host the Houston Texans Sunday afternoon: He’ll rake in about $7,500 in parking fees.

Foxboro would not be anyones destination if the Patriots were not in Town. Stop your complaining, its one maybe 2 playoff games. If the success of your business is predicated on walk in sales on 2 Sundays in January perhaps you need to re consider staying open.
