In 1959, the New England Patriots, also commonly called “The Pats”, were developed into a franchise team for the AFL. The team would spend their beginning years struggling to win home games, as they never had their own home stadium to play in. They played in four different fields during that time and it was hard for the team to play like a professional team when they hardly looked like one. In 1963, they finally had a tiny glimmer of hope, making it to the championships, but losing to the San Diego Chargers 51-10. The team would not see another post season game for another thirteen years.

About The New England Patriots
Finally in 1970, the team moved to a new stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts where they would play for the next 30 years. They changed their name from the Boston Patriots to the New England Patriots. Tickets would now start an upwards curve in sales as the team would finally start showing some upward motion.
In 1985, the team finally made it to the Super Bowl against the Chicago Bears, but they lost the game 46-10. In 1986, they would return to the playoffs but were knocked out again. Since then, the New England Patriots started to build their team around two different coaches. In 1993, Bill Parcells was hired and turned the team from a joke to a winning team. Later, Bill Belichick would take over as Head coach and the New England Patriots we know today was born. Tom Brady would show the New England Patriots ticket holders he had what it takes to won and would lead the team four Super Bowls, and winning three of them.
The New England Patriots have been despised by other teams because of their own veteran team members willingness to take a pay cut to play with the Patriots. This just shows the strength and determination of the team and the fondness players have for them.
In 2007 the New England Patriots set out like they did every season, to win games. Little did the New England Patriots ticket holders realize that they were watching a team that would come closest to beating the record for a perfect season. Tom Brady threw a record number of touchdowns that season and Randy Moss broke the record for number of touchdowns caught.
The New England Patriots finished the season 16-0 and met the New York Giants in the Super Bowl. But the Giants would surprise the world by defeating the previously undefeated New England Patriots with a 17-14 victory in the last minute of play. Definitely one of the most exciting Super Bowl games in the history of football.
The Patriots may have had a less than successful season last year, missing the playoffs, but that may prove to change this year. Brady is back on the field with a healed knee and is looking as strong as ever. The New England Patriots may once again be a contender for the 2009-2010 Super Bowl. Luckily, Bill Belichick doesn't care if he or his team is loved or hated, his focus is on winning. He has proved in the past he can do it, so he is ready to step up once again and give New England Patriots ticket holders what they deserve, a winning season and a trip to the Super Bowl in February.
