Do not know when this special was on but Parcells came to be coach of Jets for a few years and did a great job with them but unfortunately he never stayed in one place for more than a few years

your in luck. The crying club meets there weekly at same time.

So where do you live? I will be moving to TV in March or April of next year and was thinking the same thing. It would be nice to get together with some other Patriots fans and watch the games. I will be living in the Spanish Springs area.

Homanent@comcast.net or call me at (617) 653-2100.
Roger is the president of the club
Get together for almost every game plus other activities.
I’m sure he would like to have more members.

I think the very first Game the Patriots played in Foxboro (the first Stadium) was a Monday Night Game against The NY Giants, 1970.

Schaefer stadium opened in 1971. First game was a disaster at halftime. The first time all the toilets were flushed at the same time. Huge mess.

My uncle had season tickets and I remember going to a pre-season game Jim Plunketts first year. Not sure if that was 71 or 72.

The lines at Schaefer stadium to pee were much shorter if you used a sink, drain in the bathroom floor, or one of the trash cans, and no flushing required.

Went to the Monday night Football game at Schaefer against the Steelers in 1979 and it was on of the craziest things I ever experienced. Never saw so many totally drunk fans in one place in my life, hundred of fans were handcuffed to the chain link fence around the stadium because they couldn’t haul away people fast enough in the paddy wagons. After the game the Foxboro select board voted to ban Monday night football unless no alcohol was sold. Monday night football didn’t return for 14 years.

Also was at the final game of the season at Schaefer stadium in 1985, when the Patriots beat Boomer Esiason and the Cincinnati Bengals to make the playoffs. After the game several fans, including myself, rushed the stadium field and tore down the goalposts. After that I left, but a bunch of fans decided it would be a good idea to carry one of the goalposts out of the stadium and bring it to the parking lot across the street. They proceeded to carry it right into some electrical wires and got severely shocked. That place was absolutely crazy back in the day before Kraft bought the team and cleaned things up.

In 1976 I went to an Eagles/Fleetwood Mac/Joe Walsh concert at Schaefer. It was all general admission with seating(standing) on the field. We figured that since they were only allowed to sell to the stadium capacity (65K) and with all the people on the field it would be easy to find seats in the stands. So we get there pretty close to the beginning of the show, walk up the ramp to the stands and find a sea of people. Turns out they just kept selling tickets way past 65K. No idea how many people actually were there but the only empty space in the entire stadium was up high in the corners. On those crappy aluminum bench seats. Even then some people managed to start fires in the stands. Who knows what they were burning.

Good times.
