>>63080441nah bro, rowland said he wouldn't use taxpayer money to build a new arena (rightfully so) because kraft was interested in moving the pats to connecticut instead (and was willing to use taxpayer money on that)
instead kraft backed out of the deal because he was pretending to flirt with Conn. Massachusetts caved and gave him millions to build gillette in foxboro. i'm an oldfag, i remember this very clearly
>>63080472green bay, buffalo, cleveland, chiefs, oakland, vikings, etc all smaller markets with better sellout stats and historically not that great teams, but their fans are hardcore
pats went 11-5 and to the superb owl in 1985 and didn't even sellout the season. only reason they started selling out in 1994 was because of based drew bledsoe. fairweather as fuck sportsfans. see: red sox pre-2004, bruins pre-2011, celtics post-bird pre-big3. when their teams suck the fanbases abandon
