The New England Patriots are ready to honor one of their biggest stars. Slowly but steadily, details have begun to emerge about Tom Brady‘s induction into the Patriots Hall of Fame, which will take place inside Gillette Stadium on June 12 at 7 p.m. ET.

Last September, during the opening home game of the 2023 season, Patriots owner Robert Kraft announced that they would make an exception for Brady.

 

 

Usually, it takes at least four years for a retired player to be inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame, but the 46-year-old gets a special pass because of the six Super Bowl banners hanging at Foxboro.

Per ESPN‘s Mike Reiss, Kraft is going all out to make the day special for Brady and his family members. Reiss claimed it would be equivalent to ‘Larry Bird Night‘ in February 1993. It was truly a remarkable moment, with so many turning out to celebrate the Boston Celtics great, with commemorative memorabilia and appearances from former teammates.

Additional benefits for a select few Patriots fans on Tom Brady’s Hall of Fame induction ceremony day

The New England Patriots are one of the handful of dynastic franchises that dominated the NFL for the better part of two decades.

With Bill Belichick as the head coach and Tom Brady as their quarterback, the Boston natives witnessed nine Super Bowl appearances. They also went to 13 AFC Championship games, winning nine times.

However, this would not have been possible without their fan base. Kraft has something in store for them as well.

Reiss wrote that Patriots season ticket holders will have the benefit of early access to purchasing tickets for Brady’s Hall of Fame ceremony, which will begin next week. If they fail to fill all the seats by April 12, the remaining tickets will be up for sale to the general public.

Even though he played the last three years of his NFL career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Brady cemented himself as one of the Patriots greats. His record of 219-66 over 285 games in New England speaks for itself.
