Notes from the field trip to Gillette Stadium on October 16th.
Touchdowns: - I loved the 'football feel'. The stadium really gave off a football/sporty type setting, all while maintaining it's professional environment as well. It had enough aspects to it that fans can enjoy the game every Sunday, while also not feeling like they're being overcharged. The money is definitely worth the experience. - The cleanliness/modernness is something to be proud of. The stadium opened in 2002 and by NFL standards, that's old. The way the Kraft's have gone about updating the things around the stadium that are most prone to draw in fans is remarkable. They know how to invest and how to keep Pats nation coming back. Turnovers: - I thought there was a little bit of a privacy lack. Granted, the media offices are located behind a locked door, but the door to get to those offices are right next to the tunnel that goes to the lower bowl of the stadium, and right behind concession stands, but it's still accessible to a fan if they wanted to get to it. Which is also concerning because they could break in if it was ever left unattended. That situation isn't likely, but still possible. Extra points: Overall, the stadium is one of the best in the NFL. The combination of professionalism, cleanliness, organization and the football feel make it one of the more enjoyable stadiums in all of football. But, of course, it is the home of my favorite team as well, so maybe I'm a little bias. However, i thoroughly enjoyed the tour and would love to do it again.
