Foxboro Stadium is quintessential
New England. The permanent home of the Patriots - thanks to stadium owner
Bob Kraft, who purchased the team in 1993 using the lease as a purchasing
wedge - is as raw as a New England winter and as chilly as a New England
spring, with no frills and seldom many thrills (14-50 record through 1993).
A vote was won from the townsfolk of Foxboro - the only town whose selectmen can decide NFL Monday night football schedules and the first game was played less than a year after groundbreaking. It's a very basic stadium with one big bonus (great sightlines). There are good seats everywhere. And $10 million has been put into improvements since Kraft bought the stadium, with another $60 million promised. New England Patriots Preview: 2007 Tom Brady has a new slew of (at least formerly) top-notch wide receivers like, Randy Moss and Donte Stallworth, as well as Wes Walker. Walker is at least a good second-string receiver and at best, one of the top returners in the game. Top those acquisitions off with the off season's most sought-after free agent, Adalius Thomas, and this year’s version of the New England Patriots will be extremely unsatisfied with anything but a victory in Super Bowl XLII in Glendale, Arizona.
