The fact that they don't normally practice inside Gillette doesn't mean they can't.

Field day
Speaking at his Friday press conference (10:30 a.m. ET), Bill Belichick explained that the Patriots practiced on the Gillette Stadium field on Thursday because the surface is "a little different than it was in the Denver game, after the [Rolling Stones] concert."
Belichick said the big difference is that there is less sand. He said Thursday's practice was aimed at helping players get used to the surface, which seemed to affect the team's field goal unit most against the Broncos on Sept. 24.
