New England Patriots Announce 13 Free Public Practices at Gillette Stadium

The New England Patriots have released a schedule for public training camp access, and many fans still reeling from the disappointing season-ending losses of the Boston Bruins and Celtics, not to mention this train wreck known as the Boston Red Sox, are eagerly awaiting the arrival of football season.

It's only been a few months since the Pats ripped our hearts out with a 29-13 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl LX, but that's ok because Drake and Ann Michael Maye are the King and Queen of Patriot Nation now, and we'll be back bigger and stronger in the fall.

Not long after we celebrate America 250, Massachusetts wraps up MA250, and the international soccer stars have packed their balls and nets and gone home, the Patriots will report for training camp practice at the restored Gillette Stadium.
