Bad parking problem will get worse unless Bobby gets the state (yes, you taxpayers) to pay for a new exit onto 95
Kraft would be leasing the land, not running the casino

My opinion of Kraft will go much lower if it really happens.
This is actually a detriment to the team itself because players go to the facility to study all the time, why put a huge distraction right across the street?
If you thought Edelman getting in trouble all the way up in Boston groping someone, that will be nothing when there's a giant source of trouble right across the street, waiting to suck up a player's cash, providing a huge number of chicks, especially the gold-digging type, and every form of entertainment you can think of, and $1 billion is going to provide plenty.
I don't have to talk about how much this will overwhelm the small town of Foxboro, as far as public service goes.
Looks like Mr. Kraft the businessman has trumped Mr. Kraft, the family man.

This is the most out of touch post I've ever read on these forums, and that's saying something.
Players have a personal life. They can legally go gamble a short drive away in Connecticut already - where is your outrage over there?
Casino gambling today isn't the seedy underbelly it used to be. I've been to Mohegan and Foxwoods dozens of times - it's full of old ladies and fat dudes on scooters playing video slots and southie bros with their chunky girlfriends at the blackjack tables. It's not a mobbed up den of iniquity with someone being thrown through a plate-glass window every 5 minutes.
Look, most of these guys go out at night and live life like you'd expect a rich young man to. If you think there is a significant increase in the amount of trouble they can get into playing slots and drinking vs. going to a club and drinking you're really poorly informed.

I doubt players who don't already gamble at nearby spots like Foxwoods would be affected. Besides, the league's admonitions are pretty clear. And 20,000 jobs (8,000 permanent) is nothing to sneeze at.

I imagine the NFL will have an opinion on the matter too. They like to keep football and anything to do with gambling as far apart as possible. And I don't necessarily mean physically apart. Gambling often attracts organized crime and all sorts of other shady stuff. It's a big reason why Vegas will probably never get an NFL team.
Even if Kraft or anyone in the family isn't involved in day-to-day operations at a casino. An owner of a professional football team being the landlord to a casino (and therefore having a vested interest in it's business) looks bad. Real bad.

Well, they could do it like the Rt 1 improvements were done -- the state pays upfront but then gets paid back by Kraft and/or the casino.
(Standing firm to prevent the state from getting raped by the Patriots for a stadium, etc. like so many other places have been by their teams was probably the one good thing Finneran ever did.)

Have you ever been to a casino? They are nothing like what you see in the movies. Plus, you expect the players to what? Go to the casino everyday after practice? C'mon....
I don't want it either, but not for the reasons you state.
1) Because traffic doesn't suck as it is on game day, now they want it to suck everyday? So, the state will pony up the money for infrastructure for a casino that they will directlty profit from - makes sense....but way to be hypocritical disgusting pols of Massachusetts!
2) Because traffic doesn't suck enough on game days....it can suck everyday!
