Anyone going to the Patriots Game in Dec.?

AK/everyone else going: traffic is an absolute bitch there. There is a hotel @ Patriot's Place which is right next to the stadium. Though I have no doubt it will be pricey out the wazoo, you might want to stay there and avoid trying to have to drive or park on gameday if that type of stuff aggravates you. They have restaurants and shopping there and one of those high class movie theaters where you can get served food like a restaurant, etc. Here's a link to PP.

Im going to New Orleans again this year. That game is always a blast and Ive been to the last three. We stay at the JW Marriot which is where the team stays. Last year Utah was staying at the hotel for the Sugar Bowl and we get to see Smitty and Gross hanging around the hotel the days after the game before the Sugar Bowl.

  • 5 weeks later...

sorry bout draggin up an old thread...but just wanted to check in with and ask some questions of the people going.

my girlfriend and I are actually gonna stay in boston and then take a bus early that morning to the game.

we have flights and hotels all done...now we just need to find tickets. any suggestions on the best sites to get tickets? do the patriots have a site similar to ours where individuals may be selling tickets? also for those of you who have been to the patriots stadium....how are the upper seats? is one spot better than others...i figure we will try to sit on the visitor sideline.

thanks

    • Sure, there's definitely a chance that a fire sale in 2022 could've paid off but I don't think that's a certainty. It's not just about stockpiling the picks and bettering odds; it's about hitting on those picks, having a stable coaching staff to develop them, and keeping the locker room engaged. We didn't exactly have a model front office nor stable coaching staff in 2022. It's worth noting that part of the reason that DJ had to be included in the trade up for #1 was because the Bears needed an immediate, proven WR1 to help Fields. It was him or another immediate first-round pick, not a future one like what was being offered for Burns (whom teams knew that things were shaky with and that they could afford to wait). As for the Eagles, they recovered because the foundation was already in place. Pederson got flak and was ultimately fired (and was just fired again this offseason from the Jags). Their recovery was quick because the foundation was already in place: Howie Roseman and a solid roster (that included a stacked OL, a second year QB, and a veteran defense). Philly had a margin of error that just wasn't available to Carolina. I'm not against using the draft to rebuild, but a full-on teardown comes with real consequences: fan disengagement, a fractured locker room, poor development, a losing environment... and I don't believe that we had the necessary leadership at the time to cleanly navigate it. That's a gamble that I want no part of.  Now that we do have a staff that seems to be in complete alignment and building for the future rather than fighting for their jobs, I'm more inclined to observe their process and see where it leads rather than backseat driving with "perfect" hindsight. 
    • I see it a bit differently considering there is only 20M in cap space. Given how many of the premium positions are on rookie contracts their cap should not be nearly maxed out. Tillis still has a lot of work to do before these rookies will need a second contract.
