They tore it down and built the state-of-the-art Gillette, complete with expensive luxury boxes, a pretty lighthouse at one end, some nice eateries, and club seats from 20 to 20 that stay mostly empty. It's a beautiful stadium, nice to look at, with great sight lines, and an enjoyable experience for everyone from families to season-ticket holders... and is totally devoid of any home-field advantage in terms of noise, and is a place that most blue-collar fans can't afford to go to.

Oh give me a effen break!!!! You just lost your cred. Any Patriot fan that would prefer that correctly called shithole over what they have now is the first person from New England I've actually heard say that. NOBODY ever sang the praises of that dump when it was open. And just because its greatest moment was the wonderful last game in the snow doesn't change the fact it was THE WORST stadium in the NFL.
