Default OT: Renting Foxboro/Fenway for a day?

Complete feelier if anyone on Patsfans would be willing to organize renting either stadium for a day.

I honestly don't know anything about the specifics, but I could find out. A few years ago my brother and a few of his friends rented out Fenway for a day. I think? it was 2002. It was ~$10-15k for the day, with announcers and ground crew included (they got about 50 guys who all put up, etc, for a once in a lifetime sort of thing). I imagine Foxboro would be less, but inflation would prolly equate the difference.

Considering football is 11-on-11, thats 22 on field at all times. Renting it gives you 8 hours (3 games?) with plenty of opportunity for subs, etc..It could be flag football, etc...

100-200 people could easily split the cost and not feel shortchanged, particularly if a system was worked out. Between the people who regularly visit this site and their friends and family, say it was $100/person to rent the field. Any interest? At $200 (Pure speculation...)?

Isn't Foxboro Stadium a parking lot now?

Oh man, then given the cost of parking at Gillette we'll never be able to rent it!

If you have a Patriots VISA and you spend a whole lot of money.....you could use your points for exactly what you are seeking:

Scroll down to flag football on the field...it's only 1,000,000 points!

For the experience of saying that you PLAYED on the same field as the RED SOX or PATRIOTS. Its like the time that I got to skate on the Garden Ice for a stick practice. It was AWESOME.....

Amen, man. I think I brought this up before with the same insulted disbelief.

Delusions of grandeur? 150 guys putting up what they spend on a night out to rent an NFL stadium? Sorry for suggesting this aggregious misstep of affluence to impress anonymous people with similar interests of a particular football team. WAY outta line.

Instead of being ushered out the second the game ends when we try to take in the atmosphere, we could actually enjoy ourselves ON the field, smell the grass, skin our knees on the paint in the endzone, etc...

Gentlemen, they run a business. An empty stadium is not making money for the owner. Just sayin'. Sorry, I guess.

Gillette is rented out for $350,000 for a day to corporations. This includes a handful of former players to interact with.
