The Patriots began their turnaround with the hiring of Bill Parcells in 1993. He brought respectability and a winning mentality to the Patriots which culminated in leading the team to Super Bowl in XXXI in 1996.

Robert Kraft bought the team for a then record $175 million dollars in 1994. This was the next major piece of the Patriots dynasty. He was born and raised in Massachusetts and was a lifelong Patriots fan,personalized bobble heads. When he bought the team he promised the fans two things. The first was to make the Patriots a winner and the second was to build a state of the art facility for them to play in. He has delivered on both,custom bobbleheads.

Tom Brady was drafted at the 199th spot in the 2000 draft. It is safe to say the 198 players chosen before him do not compare to Brady. Since taking over for Drew Bledsoe he has led the team to three Super Bowl wins,personalized bobbleheads, has the fourth highest passer rating in the history of the NFL,custom bobblehead, has presided over the longest winning streak in the history of the NFL (21 straight wins spanning two seasons, and owns the record for most touchdown passes in a single season.

Mr. Kraft clearly made good on his first promise to the fans of New England by delivering three Super Bowl victories to the region. The next promise was the state of the art facility to be built in Foxboro, MA.

The brand new stadium holds 68,756 thousand fans and is named Gillette Stadium. The stadium was privately financed and it is one of the truly great places to see an NFL football game.
