Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 2301208, member: 652"] The Patriots were awful awful from 88-92. The team was competitive in the late 70s thru mid 80s. It's not a bandwagon town. It's a town that demands being competitive. They won't tolerate losing without trying to improve. The move to CT was all about $$$. Boston and the state of MA doesn't give billionaires State money to build stadiums. Hartford was going to build Kraft a football stadium so he talked with them. That deal had nothing to do with the attendance in Foxboro. Since Kraft bought the team in 1993 and Parcells started the rebuild every game has been sold out and the season ticket waiting lists tens of thousands deep. This is before Belichick/Brady. The owner before Kraft wanted to sell the team. Football was going to be in the Boston area even they moved and got an expansion team. [/QUOTE]
