Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 4027264, member: 628"] I grew up in Foxboro, Mass. When the NFL and AFL merged, the Patriots were essentially homeless, having been kicked out of Fenway Park the year prior. They played a season with rotating home games at BC, BU, Harvard (and even a "home" game in Birmingham, AL). The NFL told the team that if they didn't build a dedicated home field they'd kick them out of the league. After striking out in Boston, and most other area suburbs, the Pats built Schaefer Stadium in Foxboro for the princely sum of $6 million. That same year the Louisiana Superdome was built for $250 million. I loved the place, but Schaefer Stadium was a dump, with the charm of a dirty toilet. The Rent is pretty similar. [/QUOTE]
