FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - In recognition of Veterans Day on Wednesday, Nov. 11, Patriot Place is honoring veterans and active military with a variety of special offers, now through Nov. 15.
From Monday, Nov. 9, through Sunday, Nov. 15, The Hall at Patriot Place presented by Raytheon will be offering a free visit to veterans and active duty military with proper military identification. The offer gives veterans and active military the opportunity to experience the tradition of the New England Patriots and explore the history of football in New England in a one-of-a-kind, cutting-edge sports and education facility.
Visitors can relive the Patriots' championship glory inside The Hall's new exhibit, "The Super Bowl Experience," which highlights each of the organization's four championship seasons and showcases the team's four Lombardi trophies and Super Bowl championship rings. Also new to The Hall is the "New England Strong" exhibit, which looks at how sports helps people deal with tragedy. While the exhibit focuses on the attacks on Sept. 11 and Boston Marathon bombing, it looks back at incredible sports stories like The Miracle on Ice, Boston University hockey player Travis Roy, Boston College baseball player Pete Frates and more. The exhibit includes a video featuring former Patriots offensive lineman Joe Andruzzi, who was at the Boston Marathon finish line during the bombings in 2013 and whose brothers were New York fighters during Sept. 11.
Since opening in September 2008, The Hall has offered free admission to military each Veterans Day and Memorial Day. Military personnel were also offered free admission in 2010 during an extension of the traveling exhibit, "Pro Football and the American Spirit," which told the story of professional football players and personnel who served in the military from WWII to Desert Storm and the conflict in Afghanistan.
Veterans and active military can complement their trip to The Hall with a visit to CBS Scene Restaurant & Bar at Patriot Place, which will offer a complementary lunch to servicemen and women with a valid military ID now through Nov. 11.
