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.
There’s always a problem seeing my tickets One time it was so bad I had to go to Gillette stadium before the season to straighten out my season tickets because over the phone and online troubleshooting did not work and was very frustrating
Is my fi st game with my family ....great seats and prices❤️❤️❤️
Our first time at a nfl game & outside of the traffic it was great
Was attending 2 games at Gillette Stadium. Great seats and perfect view. The games were amazing
Great view nice seats , price was high but worth it
I would do it again for sure. So hopefully if I get some good tickets for good price
Go pats go pats go pats go pats go pats go pats !!
What more needs to be said about the best team ever!
Coldest regular season in Pats history, and whorth every second. They played like champs and everybody had a good time. #notdone #letsgo #onemore #doyourjob
Game was alot of fun. Freezing cold but we made it through.
The seats are high, but great view to all field and screens in each end zone. Space is fine. Ramps to the upper level were fine and the 25 stairs was okay, but best was regular price and not some stubhub sale where you pay 3 times the cover price. Overall, it was a blast. The fans were excited, the view was awesome, and the experience was great.
It's always great when it becomes "tom brady time" !!!
Food was not good!! Bought mozzarella sticks and they were hard as rocks,wanted nachos and they didn’t have any trays for the chips
Game was awesome, in the last 1 min, 13 secs!! It was then became "Tom Brady time" !!!
Game was great, Brady led comeback win. SO disappointed that some patriot players would not stand for national anthem. Went to first 3 pats games this season. No more for me. That is my right.
The game was awesome, the stadium is huge! The problem was in the entrance. As travelers, we were with our backpacks, as we usually are (with clothes, cameras, documents...) Despite of knowing that many places in the USA have the policy of no backpacks allowed, we never thought that the Gillette Stadium complex (with hotels, many restaurants and shoppings) wouldn't provide a luggage store. Also, any of the estabilishments accepted to stay with the backpacks during the game. Eventually, after walking around for almost 40 minutes, we find a nice guy that stayed with the backpacks for us and we could see the game. We understand the concern about terrorism and other terrible crimes, but maybe there could be a review about the no backpacks policy to make things easier for the foreign people like us, that support the New England Patriots around the world.
Three generations of men got to enjoy great seats and make memories that will last them a lifetime. The price was better than most 3rd party sites and I will certainly get tickets for Pats games again.
We went to the preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. It was our first time attending an NFL game and it was AMAZING! So looking forward to going again and hopefully it won't take us 20 years to do it. Just the experience alone with worth it.
Great experience for my first time preseason/tailgate is almost the same live excitement as a regular season game.
Best experience Loved the game. Buying tickets was easy and the game was terrific! Go Pats!!
