		The permanent home of the Patriots - thanks to stadium owner Bob Kraft, who purchased the team in 1993 using the lease as a purchasing wedge - is as raw as a New England winter and as chilly as a New England spring, with no frills and seldom many thrills (14-50 record through 1993).

		The Bills are 14-16 lifetime heading into their final visit to Foxboro Stadium, but some current Bills personnel have also had some quirky moments in the Stadium.

	Building a Super Stadium
		The story of Gillette Stadium begins back in the late 1990s, when Patriots’ owner Robert Kraft made a decision: it was time, he decided, to build a new stadium for the Patriots and their fans.
		The old stadium — with its uncomfortable metal bench seating, drab concrete facade and pot-holed concourses — was universally regarded as one of the sorriest sports venues in the country.
		In contrast, the new stadium is a Cadillac®.

		It was a beautiful day in Foxboro and i got to the lot around 5 when i wanted to get up at about 3 or 4 to try to hear the soundcheck.
		Big stadium shows like these are tough because the sound quality isn't the best..there can be sound delays and people focus more on the video screens.
		When I arrived at the stadium, I was pleasantly surprised that Foxboro was more intimate than most stadiums - from the inside it really doesn't seem that big (especially, in retrospect, to Giants Stadium).
