Gillette Stadium has been voted one of the dirtiest stadiums in North America. A new study has just been taken rating sports stadiums all across North America. The website Betsperts analyzed fan reviews to find the top 10 dirtiest sports venues across the continent, using the number of food safety violations in each arena and stadium hygiene as their criteria. Gillette just missed the top 3 coming in at #4 with 2.8% of dirty reviews.
