My father took me their first home game against the Denver Broncos Sept 9, 1960 at BU Field (later renamed Nickerson Field. I was nine years old and I hardly remember anything about it.
I also saw them play at Harvard Stadium in the 1970 with Joe Kapp at quarterback. They went 2-12 that year and people were giving tickets away.
A lot of people outside New England don't realize how bad and for how long the Patriots were bad. I think that's one of the reason that there is so much excitement over the winning teams of the 21st century. We were making up for 40 years of sucking.
