FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Has it really been 15 years already?
Indeed, June 1 marks 15 years to the day that demolition of old Foxboro Stadium was completed. Soon enough, the New England Patriots would be playing in sparkling new Gillette Stadium.
At the time, the $325 million new stadium was actually called CMGI Field, named after an internet company based in Andover, Massachusetts that peaked in the late 1990s before falling on hard times.
But in August, the switch was made from CMGI to Gillette.
