More than 800 friends and family who joined the Patriots players, coaches, front office and staff at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Saturday morning. The Patriots did not hold a walk-through or practice on Saturday, but instead came to the site of the game for team photos and a gathering with their guests. 

The Patriots gathered in the middle of Georgia Tech's fieldhouse just before 2 p.m. on Friday. Lawyer Milloy, the former Patriots safety who was part of the team's Super Bowl XXXVI win against the Rams in 2002, broke down the huddle with the team's "Awww Yeah!" catchphrase.

The Patriots held a walk-through practice Thursday afternoon at Georgia Tech's indoor practice facility, focusing on situational plays during the one-hour, 20-minute session.

The Patriots held their first practice in Atlanta on Wednesday afternoon, wearing helmets and shells for an 88-minute session in Georgia Tech's indoor practice facility, just over a mile from the team's downtown hotel.
