Back before football season was in full swing, Kevin came home from work and told me that he had received two tickets to go to a pre-season New England Patriots game....it was in the Gillette box at Gillette Stadium. My reaction was...."Oh, are you going to take Noah?" He promptly informed me that you have to be 21 years of age to be in the box (which means I was just old enough to attend.....hehe) and so it was clear to me that I was expected to go. I wasn't thrilled.
I honestly had no idea how big of a deal it was. I also must admit that once we got there, I did enjoy myself. The food that was served in the box was amazing....some of the biggest shrimp I have ever seen! We even got a VIP tour which took us down to the side of the field while the Pats warmed up for the game. I used my cell phone to take some pics. :)
A perfect demonstration of how die hard some of the fans are.....
This super duper large inflatable is named Pat....Pat the Patriot. He is inflated by our neighbours in the big, beautiful, green house with the expansive property every single time the Patriots play a game. He is then deflated and put away until the next game (at least they don't leave him up for the whole 16 week season!) Pat even has his own light so he can be seen clearly at night. :)
Rebekah loves seeing Pat, and affectionately calls him "the football giant". For the longest time she called him the "baseball giant" but we finally got that straightened around. She gets upset every time he is deflated, and excited every time he makes his reappearance.
I don't know what we are going to tell her when football season is done......
