New England Patriots history

Boston was the original name on the jerseys. The Boston Patriots started in 1959 as an AFL charter club, bounced around city stadiums (Fenway Park among them, from 1963 to 1968), then settled in Foxborough in 1971 and took the New England label. Foxboro Stadium served as home until 2002, when it came down and Gillette Stadium opened next door.

For years the team was mostly average. That changed after Robert Kraft bought it in 1994, and the 2001 season with quarterback Tom Brady and coach Bill Belichick started a run of dominance that lasted until 2019. Every home game since 1994 has sold out, and a 2025 ranking put the club seventh among the most valuable sports teams anywhere.
