New England Patriots History
Originally known as the Boston Patriots, the New England Patriots were the eighth and final franchise to join the American Football League in 1959. After joining the NFL during the 1970 AFL/NFL merger, they changed their name and moved to Foxborough in 1971.
Producing some of the league's greatest players — from AFL MVPs Gino Cappelletti and Jim Nance, to future Pro Football Hall of Famers John Hannah, Mike Haynes and Andre Tippett — the Patriots have fielded more than a few successful teams. The 1978 team won 11 games while setting a then-NFL rushing record that stood for 40-plus years with 3,165 yards. That year, the team's 11 wins tied the franchise record and earned the Patriots their second division title in team history and an opportunity to host their first home playoff game.
On Jan. 21, 1994, Kraft bought the Patriots from St. Louis native James Orthwein, keeping the franchise in New England. The Patriots went to the playoffs four out of the next five seasons and have become a modern-era dynasty, recording more than 20 seasons with at least 10 wins since Kraft purchased the team. Under the leadership of quarterback Tom Brady and Head Coach Bill Belichick, the Patriots dominated the division from 2001 to 2018, making nine Super Bowl appearances and winning six championships.
The Patriots are currently tied with the Steelers for the most Super Bowl wins in the NFL with six. The Patriots hold the NFL record for the most Super Bowl appearances with 11.

New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium
Gillette Stadium is located between Boston and Providence in suburban Foxborough, Mass. The stadium officially opened on September 9, 2002, when the Patriots made their regular-season debut by unveiling the franchise's first Super Bowl banner and celebrated a victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Since then, Patriots fans have helped create a home-field advantage that is unrivaled in the NFL, as the Patriots have won more regular season and postseason games at home than any other team.
The Patriots’ home-field success has helped power a dynasty that has consistently propelled the Patriots into the playoffs. Since 2002, Gillette Stadium has hosted 23 playoff games, including seven AFC Championship Games.

The most fan friendly stadium that I’ve ever been to. Designing an outdoor mall around the stadium was simply brilliant. Definitely a ten out of ten. Can’t wait to go back. My teens (16 & 17) had an amazing time and as a parent I felt safe letting them walk around and explore with all the security presence. Can’t wait to go back.
From the parking attendants to concessions workers, everyone was very courteous and helpful.
It was a spur of the moment decision to take my son to his first patriots game. The seats were well priced for the view (front row of 3rd tier, 50 yard line). Pats won 42-13. I told my son it usually doesn't go that well!!! We had a great time!
My son and I are on stadium 13 of trying to visit all 30, and Gillette and the Patriots were the most boring so far by a mile. They have a little, lame "first down"that they yell after an unenthusiastic intro by the announcer. They don't have any other fun songs, chants, nothing. The cheerleaders were basically the only entertainment. Boring experience. Totally underwhelming. Music was all old. The venue is also awful at crowd control. There was no signage indicating which exits fed to which parking lots. And they manage traffic about as well as New York City. No one moves for hours before and after the game.
Took my family it was a blast seeing them enjoy the stadium for the first time. Parking was a nightmare though, and we missed kickoff which was a bummer. Won’t be able to go this time, I have 4 tickets don’t know if anyone wants them. If you want ‘em, hit me up. First come, first served.
