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 New England Patriots have made it to the Super Bowl 11 times, holding the NFL record for the most appearances in the championship game. They have six Super Bowl titles to their name — Super Bowl XXXVI (2002), XXXVIII (2004), XXXIX: (2005), XLIX (2015), LI (2017), and LIII (2019) — and are tied with the Pittsburgh Steelers for the most victories in NFL history.
The Patriots were founded in 1959 as the Boston Patriots. After the team moved to a new stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, in 1971, they were renamed the New England Patriots. The original name choice was Bay State Patriots, but that was rejected by the NFL.
Especially enjoy the experience on the ground level standing area! In 2023-24 went to 6 total games, mostly in different seats, and each time is worth the money even with a little weather. Pats are back !!!
Great seats and easy to use tickets! Will definitely buy this way again!
I bought my tickets from Ticketmaster and it was very easy getting into the stadium. Foxborough Stadium. I would definitely refer everyone to Ticketmaster..
Had the best time at the game love my Patriots. No matter win or lose. They will get there. Let’s go Patriots.! 🏈🏈🏈😘😘😘👍
It was amazing to be at Gillette Stadium and to see the Patriots live on the field. All was well organized and the prices are okay for this event. It will not be my last visit at Gillette Stadium! Go Pats!!
Some say preseason games are for those who have a deep bond with this sport, and would wish to see it live, but cannot afford regular season tickets, not to mention playoffs. And this is true. I had a great pleasure to watch one of the NFL preseason matches between our New England Patriots and the visiting team, Philadelphia Eagles. Composed mainly of tryouts, i.e. players who are given a chance to join the main team's lineup but have to be tried first, the Patriots and Eagles played a serious game. Philadelphia took the lead with a field goal, later being quickly overwhelmed by New England who scored two field goals and had one touchdown. After the halftime though Pats made too many mistakes, while the Eagles stayed cool and focused, successfully executed a field goal followed by the touchdown with the two-point conversion. The final score in this friendly exhibition was 14-13 for the Eagles. The Patriots lost giving though sometimes a reason to think that in the regular season they might become a better team than in a past few years
Just got patriots tickets for 20 bucks. Combination of bad team playing another bad team plus bad weather made them cheap.
Some people just want to go watch some football but $400 for nosebleeds for one person is ridiculous 😂😂😂
To far of a walk . Games are exciting . But limited for seniors and Handicap Veterans!
Had a great time at the stadium watching the team play, definitely will go back!
