A lot has changed since Patriots president Jonathan Kraft and his family first started attending football games at Schaefer Stadium in 1971.
Kraft, one of team owner Robert Kraft’s four sons, said he was seven years old when his father came home with their initial package of Patriots season tickets — a purchase that would later inspire Robert to buy the team outright for $172 million in 1994, which, at the time, was the highest price paid for an NFL team.
“Occasionally, we’d travel around the country and go to NFL games in other cities when the Patriots were playing,” Kraft said at the Forbes’ “Under 30 Summit” Monday.
