Dallas away game shown at Gillette (charity event)
 

When I was at TC yeaterday and went over to a table for a roster, a woman handed me a pamphlet. I thought is was her name, phone #, photos and address as I get that all of the time.

Instead it was announcing that the Dallas away game will be shown at Gillette on the Jumbo screen. There will be former Patriot players and Cheerleaders:rocker: , as well as some other entertainment. The cost is $25 per ticket.

Didn't see this posted here before so I thought I'd get the info out to those who have not been to TC. It's a 4:15 game and the gates will open at 2:30.

That's all I can remember about it.

Those Krafts sure know how to make a buck huh? Robert didn't get to where he is by being stupid, that's for sure.

Ditto this, but in a good way. :)

I'm surprised that dome/good weather teams don't do this more often. Why let your stadium sit empty when you could turn it into the world's biggest sports bar? Granted, the expense of opening/staffing the stadium is enormous, but if you can just break even you've got a nice fan loyalty boost -- especially for those who can't get/afford regular game tickets and never get into the stadium.

It's actually a really good idea and would be spectacularly good in the upcoming Cowboys stadium with that screen that goes from the 20 to the 20.

Why stop at the Dallas game? Why not do all the away games like this.
I'm sure he would sell plenty of tickets.

What does the $25 get you besides admission? If it doesn't include something additional like food, etc., that's too much. Heck, they should let people in for free and make their money off concessions. If it was a nice day and admission was free, I could see tailgating beforehand and going in to watch it on the big screen, but $25 just to be there is too pricey.

It's probably a feeler. If he gets 20k fans he may do it more often.

Agreed, $25 is too much considering beer costs $7 at the stadium. I can go to a sports bar and get my first 5 beers for the cost of a ticket. My guess is that they'll do it for every away game next year, when Patriots Place is open.

I don't know and the pamphlet is at home. There may be something on the official web site.

They did have 100 VIP tickets that had "extras" at $100 per ticket but they sold out fast.

But how many people will voluntarily sit outdoors to watch a December night game on tv???
