Foxboro Stadium
Good old Foxboro Stadium. Many are the memories contained in the seats of Foxboro Stadium. There was a time when the Foxboro Stadium seating chart couldn’t be expanded enough to contain all the New England Patriots fans that had their hearts set on watching their heroes. In the midst of all those memories though, there is one singular event that stands out. And if you ask around, you’ll find many more people claiming to be in the seats of Foxboro when this event occurred than the whole city of Boston could contain.
We’re talking of course, of the famous “Snowstorm Game” that featured the New England Patriots battling the Oakland Raiders in the NFL Playoffs. Who can forget Tom Brady driving his team down the field in the driving snow while the fans in the seats of Foxboro Stadium held their breath? And who can forget the hugely controversial reversed fumble call that make Raider fans spit and curse the officials to this day? Anyone sitting in the stands at Foxboro that day witnessed history, as the Patriots went on to win game on a late field goal, a victory that propelled them into the Super Bowl and sparked the beginning of “Dynasty” talk around the Patriots. Oh well, those were the days.
Now, when we talk about New England Patriots tickets, which is why you’re here, we have to talk about Gillette Stadium. Bit what wouldn’t we give for just one more chance at seating in Foxboro Stadium? We can only hope that Gillette Stadium generates something even close to the thrills and memories that seating in Foxboro spawned.
