Re: pats hall of fame

I am hoping to go there with my daughter. I home school her, and i figured we'd do a three-day visit to Boston. Take in the historic sights, and then tool on down to Foxboro and visit the HoF and Patriot's Place, etc.

Gwedd, make sure to check the calendar of events on the Patriots Place website. Usually, I think on Tuesdays, there is a special kids event on the Plaza behind the lighthouse-next to the hall, and they have a special guest show up.

We went the last week of June and they had a State Trooper event/with a kids highway safety program day. My kids got to climb up on the troopers motorcycles, try some of the police paraphenalia.......and meet and get pics with Stephen Ghostkowski, Andre Tippet and Jerrod Mayo who attended the event (And I got to say hi to Christopher Gasper!). Tuesdays during the season is usually off-day for the team, but you may see a designated player or a rehabbing one at one of these events.

Thanks! She's 11, going on 22, but very smart and always interested in new things.

It's amazing how far this franchise has come in the past 20 years.

I must have spent a half hour at the snow bowl field goal kicking exhibit when I was there in July. The whole place is just awesome.

Did you make the field goal?

I was in sandals, but I tried until my toes were black and blue. My kids were embarrassed.

I made a few of them and shanked a few others pretty badly. My brother drilled one dead center that put any of the ones I kicked to shame.

Re: OT: My visit to the Patriots Place

Some may not care but I wanted to share my thoughts and experience on my visit to Gilette and Patriots place today. I live in NY and this was the first time I had been to Massachusetts ever. My friend and his boys are huge Pats fans and you already know my deal. We drive up to Gillette and its a beautiful building. Great scene all around, a nice peak into the stadium from outside, the light house is a nice touch. It was freezing so I wore my jets cap and no one gave me any grief. We were low on time so we just headed for the Pats HOF after snagging some photos.

I dispise the Patriots a lot, I hate several of their players however I thoroughly enjoyed Pats HOF despite the painful journey through the building. The 15 minute video was informative. The memoribilia (sp?) was beyond extensive. The Lamar Hunt trophies, SB rings and SB trophies were great to see in person. I was amazed by how in depth it was and how well put together the whole place was. The interactive places were time consuming. The collection and organization of everything there is simply amazing. I walked away still hating the Pats may be even more so but that venue is a phenomenal place for people who like football such as myself and enjoy its history. The biggest sentiment I walked away with was that Robert Kraft is one of the greatest owners in sports by far. Nothing ground breaking occurred but I thought the place was pretty cool and just wanted to share that thought

So, why don't the Green Beans have a hall of fame? Oh, wait a second ... They need to do something famous first, right? Never mind.
