Tom Brady was welcomed back by Patriots fans to Gillette Stadium in style on Sunday during the 2023 season-opener. The home crowd cheered loudly during both pregame and halftime ceremonies honoring the now-retired quarterback.
Brady, 46, was clearly touched by the reception. In a Monday Instagram post reflecting on his visit — in which he was accompanied by members of his family — Brady said he was lucky “to have spent my life surrounded by such incredible people.”
“Coming back to New England to celebrate what WE accomplished was so special, and it’s a day that I’ll never forget,” read Brady’s caption.
