FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (Nov. 30, 2009) - The tradition of hosting the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA) EMass Super Bowls at Gillette Stadium is entering its third year and the results couldn't be better.

More than 25,000 high school football fans have descended on Foxborough each of the last two years to see the best teams in six MIAA EMass Divisions compete for the Super Bowl title. On Saturday, Dec. 5, the Kraft family will once again open Gillette Stadium rent-free to the MIAA to provide the biggest possible stage for the student athletes.

"We're proud of the tradition we're building here, crowning the high school Super Bowl champions at Gillette Stadium," said Robert Kraft, Chairman and CEO of The Kraft Group. "We are thrilled to be able to give these students the opportunity to step onto this field to play in the biggest games of their lives. We want to make it as memorable as possible for them, their families, their schools and their communities."

Twenty-four teams will compete on Tuesday, Dec. 1 for the chance to play at Gillette Stadium, which will host the EMass Super Bowls in Div. IIIA (9:00 a.m.), Div. III (11:00 a.m.), Div. IIA (1:30 p.m.), Div. II (3:30 p.m.), Div. I (6:00 p.m.) and Div. IA (8:00 p.m.) on Dec. 5. All games times are approximate.

"Once again, we are grateful to the Kraft family for hosting the Eastern Massachusetts Super Bowl games. Their generosity in providing an exciting finish to the football season for 12 teams, along with the other MIAA activities they support, is greatly appreciated," said Richard F. Neal, MIAA Executive Director.

Beyond the honor of playing on the same field as the New England Patriots, the Super Bowl participants will be treated by the Kraft family to an NFL-caliber game production. The teams will be introduced on Gillette Stadium's 48 x 27-foot video screens and public address system and compete live on television across Massachusetts. Following each game, a jersey from the winning team will be raised to the Champions Wall at The Hall at Patriot Place presented by Raytheon, which will offer discounted admission to fans attending the games.

Tickets to the Super Bowls are just $13 for adults and $10 for students and are available at the Gillette Stadium ticket office throughout the day on Dec. 5.
