FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — The Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots unveiled their newest banner Sunday night.
After knocking off the Rams in last year's Super Bowl to claim the franchise's sixth Lombardi trophy, the Patriots needed to make more room at Gillette for the banner.
Before kicking off the 2019-2020 season against the Steelers, they took the opportunity to celebrate last season's victory with the fans.
The stadium also lit up with the wristbands handed out to fans as they entered, while Gronk made a special appearance to celebrate the championship.
Robert Kraft also made an appearance with the veterans from last season as they celebrated on the field.
