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.

Rating: 4 out of 5 Rating: 4 out of 5 Pat's pre-season
by razor1681 on 8/21/09Gillette Stadium - Foxboroughthe game was good. The pat's look like they are ready for the new season.
Rating: 1 out of 5 Price Gouging!!
by Greystoke124 on 8/21/09Gillette Stadium - FoxboroughGame was terrible. Prices there are ridiculous. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING AT THE STADIUM. $6 for a bottle of water?? What did it cost them? $0.50?? Please. Everything there, including the tickets, is WAY overpriced. This is why everybody tailgates. Preseason games suck and you have to pay regular season prices. If you have a big screen tv and HD then stay home. Not worth the hassle and the price gouging.

Rating: 4 out of 5 Pats vs Bengals - game was so-so, but good times!
by NHPatsFan on 8/21/09Gillette Stadium - FoxboroughWell, the game itself was so-so. Only saw brady for less than a quarter, not enough Moss or Welker. On the other hand, first time at Gillette - thought it was awesome (except for parking / getting out!!), the weather was beautiful, the seats were great. All in all, a good night!

Rating: 5 out of 5 patriots game was the best
by Patriotsnumber1Fan on 8/21/09Gillette Stadium - FoxboroughWE had such a great time. Seats were on the 35 yard line and row 8. Can't get much better than that. Right on the field. Parking was not as bad as expected either. THE BEST NIGHT EVER
Rating: 3 out of 5 Pats flat in preseason loss
by jtwrevo on 8/21/09Gillette Stadium - FoxboroughI was at the Philadelphia game the week before which was Tom Bradys first game back. He played a full half and looked sharp. In this first home game return he played 1 quarter and is timing was noticeably off. In fact the whole team with a few exceptions (Kevin Faulk and some defense) seemed off. Maroney continues to disappoint and where is Ben Watson? Plenty of time to get ready for the preseason.
Rating: 4 out of 5 Always a good game, even when boring!
by Baaa on 8/21/09Gillette Stadium - FoxboroughNot much happened during the game (two field goals and one touchdown). The people make this game interesting though, and the game was only that much better!
