As a Steelers fan, just the notion of the Patriots hosting an NFL draft is hard to admit to. However, given that cold climate, we will never have the chance to see a Superbowl held in Gillette Stadium. Furthermore, to ad-lib a quote from Tony Soprano if they are never in a Superbowl again, it will be too soon.

They have become the most successful franchise in terms of winning championships aside from Pittsburgh since the AFL-NFL merger. Given its proximity to Boston, it’s one of America's most historic cities. Also, with the Boston Bruins, Boston Red Sox, and the Boston Celtics, it is a blue-collar sports city; they love their sports in New England. The Patriots did have their lean years, only making the playoffs five times between 1970 and 1994.
When the Patriots hired Bill Parcells, the franchise was transformed to a large degree. Under his leadership on the field, the Patriots made the playoffs in two of his four seasons there. Then when the Patriots hired Bill Belichick, working off of Parcells's limited success, he transformed the Patriots into a dynasty lasting from 1997-2019. Perhaps the longest-running dynasty in NFL history.

Foodwise, what goes better with barbecue than baked beans, well, that’s one of the most famous dishes to come out of Boston, and for dessert, you can get some Boston crème pie, or perhaps you’re in the mood for lobster rolls. Whether you like the Patriots or not it’s a great location for fans to have fun and enjoy the draft.r 20 years, it would be a fitting tribute to their contribution to NFL history to bring the NFL draft to New England.
