The Patriots recently showed off the team's new Putnam Club premium seating club at Gillette Stadium. Club seats feature a great view of the games, extra space for sating, and a full bar and menu. [Foxboro Patch] Remember to follow Bostonist on Twitter and like us on Facebook.

As of about 6:30 p.m. tonight, 112,000 Massachusetts electric customers were still without power. There are 83,000 National Grid clients in the dark, mostly in the Attleboro and Scituate areas, along with 29,000 NSTAR customers in South Shore, Cape Cod, and the Metro West towns. National Grid's website has estimates for every city or town with outages.
Music fans will certainly give bad reviews to Hurricane Irene. The Kenny Chesney show on Sunday at Foxboro was moved to Friday night to avoid Irene. Now, the Rockstar Energy Drink UPROAR Festival has been moved from Sunday to Tuesday at Mansfield's Comcast Center, which is about 10 minutes from Foxboro's Gillette Stadium. At the least, we're getting a bad storm, and possibly worse. Organizers do seem to be aware of recent weather-related calamities in Indiana and Belgium where stages collapsed and are wasting no time rescheduling outdoor events.
Soccer fans got quite a treat this weekend in Foxboro as the 2010 FIFA World Cup Champion Spanish National Soccer team visited Patriot Place and Gillette Stadium on Friday and Saturday for a chance to meet young soccer players at the WeGotSoccer shop and to play Team USA in an international friendly match, respectively.
Yes, there's more Kennedy news. Various state tax subsidies are criticized. The Globe profiled the Miss Massachusetts and the Polaroid chairman (separately). Remember to follow Bostonist on Twitter and like us on Facebook.
We're used to seeing Gisele Bundchen as the glamorous supermodel. Appearances at Gillette Stadium as a football wife are less common.
The Patriots usually love them some Buffalo Bills. New England is 15-1 against the Bills in the Tom Brady era. The Pats should win today, and they should be highly motivated, too, in light of last week's Jets disaster.
Tom Brady is on the cover of Sports Illustrated this week, after his car accident on Thursday in his $97,000 Audi that he got as a "gift" for charity work. Usually, the bad news follows a cover shot for SI. And you thought 50 TD passes in one season was groundbreaking.
Tom Brady isn't going anywhere, except to offseason workouts at Gillette Stadium. Foxboro isn't Bridget Moynihan. However, Brady's looming contract year is great fodder for
--For something completely different, rising alt-country act Sarah Borges and the Broken Singles, fresh off a homecoming at the Lizard Lounge, will be playing at Dante's in Marlborough at 9:30 pm.
A New England Patriots fan told Joe Fitzgerald at the Herald that some overzealous Pats fans beat up him, his friend, and his cousins, who happened to be Jaguars fans and who were wearing Jaguar gear, after the Pats-Jaguars game.
Yesterday before the Patriots vs. Dolphins game in Foxboro, a fan "jumped from a 17-foot high pedestrian walkway heading towards the stores at Patriot Place," the Globe reports.
Both the Herald and Globe wondered today about whether and why Victoria's Secret model Selita Ebanks was booed during a promotional appearance Sunday night at Gillette Stadium. Could it be that a stadium full of "red-blooded American football fans" (as the Herald's Inside Track ladies put it) actually booed any model, let alone a Victoria's Secret lass? Bostonist was there, and we heard all the boos. And much as we give credit to anyone speaking...
--The person who died when a BPD cruiser struck her car yesterday has been identified as Annemarie McNally, 36, of South Boston. The officer was responding to a call when he hit her car. One witness told the Herald: "I hate to talk bad about the hurt, but she was flying. The cop was behind her. I don’t know if she hit a curb or what, but the back of her car kind of lifted....
First, the really great news: Josh Beckett managed to make C.C. Sabathia look like a Little League pitcher (no offense to some of those who are the future of America's pastime) on Friday night at Fenway Park, ably leading the Red Sox defense in what turned into a 10-3 routing in Game 1 of the ALCS. Seriously, we were a little worried about what hinted at a pitching fan's dream matchup - two great aces...
Not every day can be that exciting in the sports world. Today will be pretty good: the Sox open a series in Baltimore, the Patriots play their first exhibition game, and Gillette Stadium is preparing for the Sunday arrival of David Beckham. Yesterday...nothing. Well, there was a little excitement. New Celtics Eddie House and Scot Pollard faced the media, and Bostonist already likes Pollard. "Getting Kevin Garnett here was a big deal, but with us...
We're playing a little game we call "what's Tommy's name not on?" The Zamboni that smoothes the ice at the Frog Pond? It's on there. The welcome sign to Boston? It's on there. The toothbrushes the Boston Public Health Commission distributes? It's on there (and happens to be absurdly huge.) The Boston Convention and Exhibition Center? Yeah, that's it. Menino's name does not adorn the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center is not yet called...
Even though the Devern Hansack experiment went horribly wrong Saturday night, the Sox had no choice but to go to the Pawtucket well again Sunday. So they brought up lefty Kason Gabbard to start Sunday's rain-delayed tilt with the Braves. And it went as well as we possibly could have hoped. Gabbard cooled off the Atlanta bats, which were still steaming from Saturday's 14-run nightcap, to the tune of five innings pitched, six hits, two...
Bostonist was walking past the hustle and bustle of Fenway Park on Friday afternoon when we finally identified that nagging feeling that had been with us ever since the Park Street station. We had seen more Baltimore Orioles jerseys, hats and T-shirts in an hour than we saw all day when we traveled to Camden Yards last season! What was going on? Everyone knows that the orange-accented Baltimore ballpark is known fondly in Red Sox...
The Pats flubbed another one this weekend in the Bostonist satellite office down in Foxboro, to the hated Jets of all teams, 17-14. This one was a mud bowl, and one would think that would benefit the home team, seeing they have control over their field. But, not this time around. And speaking of field conditions, can anyone respond and tell Bostonist why in the world the field at Gillette Stadium looked more like...
On Sunday afternoon, things didn't start spectacularly for the New England Patriots, but they sure did end that way. The Pats prevailed in Foxboro yesterday in front of a full house at Gillette Stadium by the score of 19-17. The Pats season started in what looked to be a disastrous manner. The season's first play for the Pats was not what Pats fans had envisioned for the inaugural play of the 2006 campaign. On...
We're getting close, damn close, to the start of the Patriots regular season. Perhaps it will help us take the sting away from what's going on with the Sox lately. There will be some new music at Gillette Stadium for this season's home games. Every time the Pats score a touchdown they'll employ a little celebratory ditty. Right now, they're not sure what it's going to be. We're not quite sure if it's more ironic...
Usually we try to wax poetic about some sort of relevant piece of information. This week we're dropping all that fluff and jumping right into this week's set of picks – lots of good shows on tap for this week. Zydeco to classical, hip hop to electronica, and Bon Jovi. Monday 7/24: Wattstax with Eli "Paperboy" Reed & the True Loves Allston's Paperboy plays an opening revue for a screening of Wattstax, a film...
Bostonist knows... Bostonist knows... Spring Training is wrapping up, and the boys of summer are due north in a couple weeks time, so most of this space will be dedicated to our beloved Red Sox over the next few months. But, Bostonist has some unfinished business with the New England Patriots organization, Head Coach Bill Belichick, and owner Robert Kraft. As all Bostonists are now aware, the Pats lost some pretty large parts this...
So Bostonist has never claimed to be the most intellectual of the bunch, especially when it comes to television. We’ve been tuning in these past couple weeks to Fox’s harshest reality television show (no, not Skating With Celebrities) to see just how mean the judges on American Idol can get. As we’ve seen in the last few seasons of this spinoff of the British show, Pop Idol, the best part of Idol is the...
Just yesterday, Bostonist shared an interesting tract about world history, the mafia, the domestication of zebras, and the Simpsons, which was posted as a comment to our site. No sooner had we finished sharing that enlightening tidbit, than we received in our inbox what purports to be a letter to U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales (or Gomzales, as his name is written elsewhere in the letter), complaining about some complicated, fraudulent scheme involving body doubles...
Boston, a random Saturday... The metrosexuals are heading to Louis Boston for designer denim, bi-weekly manis/pedis, and indiscreet eyebrow waxes, but where are the "guys' guys" supposed to go when the significant others are out shopping at some frilly retail location that rugged, outdoorsy sorts of males wouldn't even be caught dead waiting outside of in their pickup trucks? Luckily, the Kraft family (who, coincidentally, also owns the Patriots) is planning on giving "real...
