I graduated from Xaverian in 1983. Wish I still lived in Massachusetts. I would definitely go. Matt Hasselbeck is also an alum. His dad Don played for the Pats in 1977.

I believe that Fenway was the Patriots' second home (the Harvard Bowl being the first). I've seen photos of their football field inside Fenway and it wasn't pretty - as I recall, a field goal could bounce off the Green Monster - and to me, that would be sacreligious :). In the early years in was the BOSTON Patriots and we Mainers treated them as a minor league. We had Chucking Charlie Connolly ,followed by YA Tittle and our NEW YORK FOOTBALL GIANTS to cheer for :bOW. .......

YA retired, the Giants became awful and along came Broadway Joe to dispel the NFL's  power....

 GO PATS, GO!!!!!!
