The rain before Sunday’s Patriots season opener didn’t stop Tom Brady from making a pregame appearance.
Enthusiastically waiving to the crowd from the deck of the stadium’s new lighthouse, Brady kicked off the new season by ringing a bell.
The pregame bell ring could become a “new tradition” at Gillette Stadium, wrote Ben Volin of The Boston Globe.
Brady is the first “Keeper of the Light” in Gillette Stadium history, according to the Patriots Twitter account.
It’s far from the only first Brady has accomplished in Foxborough.
