Not true about St. Louis. James Orthwein owned the team and was going to move it to SL. Kraft bought the team from him and kept it here.And st. Louis.
Kraft has done alot of great by new England but so has new England by kraft.
He turned his back on us, not the other way around. It's that simple.
People in MA would say otherwise
Half or more then half are NY fans first and consider themselves the tri state area over New England.
How bout charging the highest average ticket prices in the NFL? Or $12 for a beer. Parking? Oh yah that'll be another $50. This guy is a greedy little jerk.I'm thinking that arguing that Kraft turned down an offer to have Hartford build him a stadium for free in favor of spending hundreds of millions of his own dollars to build a stadium in Massachusetts isn't the best example of Kraft only caring about money.
In the past couple of years, in central CT, I've met countless Jets and Giants fans, 4 Dolphins fans, 2 Raiders fans (?), 2 Patriots fans, 2 Bills fans, and 2 Cowboys fans. Not exaggerating the numbers. Maybe it's my line of work.
Every time i have been to CT ect or near the hartford area...Giants and Jets
Little known fact: the stadium plan in Hartford was a non-starter doomed by environmental issues, forcing Kraft back to Foxboro. The Hartford site's unsuitability wasn't confirmed until partway through the planning process shortly after the deal with Connecticut's governor was struck. That's when Kraft pulled out. He then was going to rehab Foxboro Stadium before Finneran took mercy and got the state to kick in money for Route 1 infrastructure improvements needed to accommodate a new stadium. Had the environmental impact problem not stopped them in Hartford, the Pats WOULD be based in Connecticut today.I'm thinking that arguing that Kraft turned down an offer to have Hartford build him a stadium for free in favor of spending hundreds of millions of his own dollars to build a stadium in Massachusetts isn't the best example of Kraft only caring about money.
Why anyone in NE would want to chose those teams over the Pats is beyond me.....I'm glad Kraft chose to stay in MA....CT doesn't deserve to be the home of the franchise. (no disrespect to those diehard fans living in CT )
Well then that would make them not too bright.People in MA would say otherwise

...why? Because $0...$0 would be coming out of his pocket. He was always about business then..and always will be. He isn't about the fans..only $$ and helping his $$ buddies out.
