It's easy, and only takes a few moments.first game 1965 Fenway Park, season tickets starting in 67 to 82, let them go the strike year. Present for the concession stand fire at BC, sat in the snow in Harvard Stadium, opening night in Schaefer, had to leave my car in the entrance road opposite the south end zone. I used to consider myself the king of rationalization. After some terrible games I was always able to rationalize why things happened by the time I got home an hour later. It's hard to fathom what has happened the last 20 years. For years all the bad things happened to the Pats now it happens to everyone else.Any forum members here who saw them play there ... I know we had some back @1999-2000.
I suppose we can include Shaefer / Sullivan Stadium in there - any season ticket holders from Shaefer/Sullivan Stadium.
Stand up and be known ... Fenway Park? Alumni Stadium?
My first game was in 1972 vs the Dolphins - froze my skinny ass off on the aluminum bench.
We need to have a hall of fame for you pre Schaefer/Sullivan stadium fans.I've had the privilege of watching the Patriots in EVERY home venue they've played in.....in New England:
Nickerson,Fenway,Harvard,BC,of course the gorgeous Sullivan/Schaeffer stadium.
Patriots played 1 home game in...........
......Birmingham,Alabama. No, I didn't go.
Did anyone here attend that game?

I'll say this: growing up in and around Boston, going to the games at Fenway,BC,BU and Harvard was a lot more fun than driving to the old Schaeffer/Sullivan. Traffic backed up for miles afterwards.
Even tho I've lived in the South for 25+ years, I've been back to Gillette and traffic never seemed as bad as it was back in the bad old days. Which is weird, since a lot more people go to games in the BB/ TB era.
A lot of great memories from the 60's/70's as I was usually with my Dad and brother.
Of course,there was the time me and my hoodlum teenage friends took the train to Schaeffer and all of us ( maybe 5 or 6), found a way to sneak in. I won't go into details,lol.
I wish I had seen 1 Flutie game live.Saw Doug Flutie beat the Houston Oilers and Warren Moon in 1989 at Sullivan Stadium...
