Patriots Hosting A Super Bowl Send-off At Gillette Stadium

New England is hoping to earn its seventh Lombardi Trophy next Sunday.

FOXBOROUGH, MA — The New England Patriots will soon be catching a flight to Santa Clara, California for a matchup against the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl LX on Sunday, Feb. 8 and many fans are expected to follow suit to support their team come kickoff. However, the organization is hosting its traditional send-off event at Gillette Stadium on Sunday, Feb. 1 before the squad departs.

According to the team, the event will begin at 9:30 a.m. and will feature speeches and appearances from Patriots coaches, captains, and alumni. Boston’s own Dropkick Murphys headlines the live performances that also includes routines from the Patriots Cheerleaders and a drumline from New England-based Flagship Entertainment.

Bud Light, a main sponsor for the rally, is giving the first 300 attendees a chance to win two tickets to the Super Bowl and be given funds to purchase beer to enjoy during the game. The send-off rally is also sponsored by Hood, Dunkin, Plymouth Rock, Toyota, Hellmann's, Keches Law, and the Netflix film “Peaky Blinders The Immortal Man.”
