2017 New England Patriots (pride) season ticket unboxing
New England Patriots season tickets and Mr. Kraft included a nice surprise.
Paul Lodge, 68, of Norwood, Mass., has seen the New England Patriots play a lot of bad football, but he's always enjoyed going to the games. Last year marked Lodge's 40th anniversary as a Patriots season ticket holder, which means he's seen a lot of highs and lows.
For instance, he remembers going to games -- alone -- in the 1980s when the team was abysmal. "Nobody wanted to go," he says, not even his kids. His wife would go sometimes, says Lodge, but only if the Norwood High School band was playing at halftime. By the '90s, the team had improved, but still few takers for tickets. Then, of course, all fans know of the Pats' more recent Super Bowl successes.
In 1971, Lodge took over his friend's two season seats right on the 50-yard line at Schaefer Stadium, the Patriots' former haunt. In the mid-90s, Lodge gave up those seats to buy one season ticket in a row with a bunch of his buddies. They still go to games -- nine tickets all together, one row, Section 205, the first section by the stadium's lighthouse.
Seasoned season ticket holders like Lodge and his friends have a system down pat. For a 1 o'clock Sunday game, they meet at noon at a friend's place, drive in together, park at another friend's place in Walpole, walk in and get to their seats just before kick-off. If the game's over by 4, Lodge is at home, in his kitchen, by 4:30. They don't hit traffic.
Lodge's son, Michael, had two Patriots season tickets in a luxury box, at $350 a seat. He did not renew them for next season. Lodge's seat is $117 per game, amounting to nearly $1,200 a season for 10 games, including two preseason games. Lodge now has his ticket in his son Michael's name.
