How long has it been since you saw a Pats game in person?

How long has it been since you saw a Pats game in person?

My last visit to Foxboro, ashamedly, was December of 2003, for the Snow Game... Bruschi pick 6, Brady pooch punt, and everyone tossing snow into the air. Great game, great seats (4 club seats we overbid for at a charity auction), and my dad loved every minute of it. From indoors. LOL

Haven't gotten back for a variety of reasons, including hating the gridlock, loving the comfort of home, and moving from Maine to Long Guyland 3 years ago. Plus I'm old.

And you?

I really only go to a game about once every 3 years now. Became way to expensive for 1 game. I use to go to about 6 games a years from 91-06.

I went to the Jets game this year bought my friends tickets($185 ea) plus parking. So to take m nephew is cost $500 bucks between parking,tickets and food.

That $500 is just under half of what it cost me for my 41 Bruins games this year ($1094). And the Bruins tickets I pay off on a monthly payment plan too.


I miss going to games but I had to make a decision on what my priority was for my entertainment dollars.

I chose to keep Bruins tickets and my Revs season tickets(Revs tickets $200 for 17 games)

One game last year, and it was well worth it: Denver.

I attend every game.

Alternate thread title: When did you last attend a Pats game?

Thursday, November 22nd, 2012.

I'm not in a very good position to attend games, unfortunately, being that I:

-live in Western Mass, 2 hours from Gillette
-go to college even further away in the Hudson Valley
-don't have my own car or that much money to blow on tickets

The only game I've ever been to was when my friend's family treated me to the Pats-Panthers game in 09 (otherwise known as one of the most boring NFL games ever to be played in Gillette). Hopefully when I'm older and more self-sufficient I can make it to more games. I'm also considering going to whatever Pats @ MetLife games come up, but that's a long shot.

This past year, the famous 24-point spotting of the donkeys, and the magical comeback in the second half

I even have a poster of Gillette stadium in that game, with me in the bottom right-hand corner, feature a Gronk jersey! :rocker:

AFC Championship game in 2007/2008 season.

Planning on catching them in Minny or GB this coming year.

Same here..pretty damn cold for a day game

I go once a year. Went to the saints game this year (yes I did stay until the end) and it was crazy when they won.

I go to one per year, and on occasion, a second if I can get my hands on playoff tickets. Last game I went to was in the freezing rain against Buffalo this year.

That's the last game I was at, too. I'm on the waitlist and try to get to at least one game a year.

Last game altogether: @ Jags 2012.

Last home game: vs. Chargers 2005.

Patriots/Ravens. 2009 playoffs. Nightmare in Foxboro. And it was miserably cold that day. By the end I managed to switch my mood from sadness to apathy at such a horrible performance.

The lawyers we work with have a luxury box and they invite us once a year. So yeah I am actually a bit spoiled. Good news is that that pats are 5-0 when I am sitting in a luxury box! :rocker:

at Carolina last year (lux box). I had a great veiw of the Gronkowski mugging that ended that game and Brady's post game berating of the officails as they left the field.

BTW LaFell had a great game that night, he made a few big plays for them.

At Jacksonville the previous year (at least 50% Pats fans that day).

I might make it home for a game this year, nothing close to me this year.

First game 12/16/79, beat the Vikes as I froze on those aluminum bleachers!!!!

Yeah, I thought of that... after I posted. D'oh!

EDIT: Thanks to whoever changed the title! Muchas gracias!

The London game.

Before that, 1994 against the Raiders. Lost, can't remember the score, but Bledsoe was terrible. My uncle lived in Boston at the time so he got me a ticket, knowing I was a fan. I was in my early/mid teens at the time and my parents wouldn't let me take a day off school, so my flight to Boston was late on Friday night and I flew home hours after the game, I've never been as tired in my life. Between the result and jet lag I felt depressed for about two months afterwards and made a lot of questionable music choices.

i've never been. two tickets will be about $200, parking, food, etc. its just not worth it, i can go to a Sox game for $20

Carolina vs Pats, Monday Night Football 2013. Corner of the end zone (yes the Gronk mugging was right there). That place was a mad house as it was dubbed "the game where we become relevant". It sucks to say but if those refs had not picked up the flag, it would have been crazy. Cam had 3 big runs out of a couple busted plays where we totally lost the edge and I really think he won that game for them with those. Thompkins had a sick spin move. Talib and Smith going at it...

I do have to say, the best thing was seeing BB out there early, talking to everyone. You can see he loves it and soaks it all in. Also, Nate Solder was one of the first out working on his technique and last to leave the warm ups.

Tickets were $85 each. Love how inexpensive it is here...
