She might be. She’s the only decent looking one there.

I hate to say it, but there is a good chance “Jeremy” might be the most fun.

I counted 22 of them I would do but I do get these girls are not the bovine type you like.
I'm glad they put the dude in there for you.......

Is having a puff mandatory. First row right to left second one in. She looks like she would be fun in the sack

Hmm...I only see one that doesn't look like they would be fun in the sack...at least once!

NBC Sports Boston, Patriots insider Phil Perry says that after several conversations with HC Mike Vrabel that he thinks the roster moves that are coming could be shocking to the team and Patriots fans. Then he clarified himself and said that Vrabel never said a thing directly but he said that it wouldn't surprise him (Vrabel) if the team had as many as eighteen or twenty new names. "This group of people we drafted are as impressive and hard working as any group of rookies I've ever seen or been involved with. As limited as we are in these practices and plays, every man on that field is giving every bit of effort and responding to criticism better than I could have ever expected."

Warning to veterans?? Rookies really better than advertised?? Vrabel prepared to really flush the toilet???

I liked Watson coming out of college. I wouldn't put 550 yards per season average as "Elite" though.

Then there is the "Devastating" knee injury.

Should this have been posted in "Stupid News?"

They are talking about getting rid of Boutte with more yards than that!
We are not the hospital for every other teams injured player!

I hate how often that word "elite" gets thrown around. Those kind of numbers suggest a receiver that is borderline #3 type WR even possibly pushing down to a #4 WR range.

Are all dimensions in feet? Hip high?

Yards?

 

[BigKen]

Feet........30,000 of them.

approx. 10,000 per floor.

1st - Weight room, trainer's area (ice tubs, massage tables, etc) Medical and rehab area, showers.
2nd - Coaches and staff offices.
3rd - Executive and team support offices.

2026 - Gillette will have major conversion of former team facilities on first floor to modernize and improve locker rooms.
Team offices on second and third floor will be new facilities and possible bar and restaurants. Design not 100% complete.

2025 - Team jets getting modernized. No details.

Total cost? $500,000,000??

Welp...

75 X 100 = 7,500.
7,500 X 3 = 22.500.

But I was looking more at 75 feet X 100 feet X 3 feet. 3 feet high isn't very conducive to full range of motion squats.

I didn't know you meant three stories.

Even still as, I think about it, 75' X 100" is quite small for "Weight room, trainer's area (ice tubs, massage tables, etc) Medical and rehab area, showers."
Go find a yard or parking lot and pace 25 steps, turn and pace 33 steps. Now envision 90 NFL size dudes in that area, with all kinds of weights and weight machines...and multiple showers and massage parlors.

I looked back at the link, the photo shows a wheel loader in the foreground. Bucket on the ground. A normal loader is 25-30 feet long. It also fairly well matches up with the distances between columns. that would make the footprint of the building 250' X 150' to 300' X 180'.



Also...for a scale comparison...an Olympic pool is 165' X 80'.

My house lot is 90' x 100' (9000 sf) The photos, now that I relook at them, create an optical illusion of size trying to estimate the distance between steel beams.

So your estimate of 180' x 300' might be closer.

Here's the official Gillette Stadium announcement of the improvements to the stadium and the new lighthouse::

The New England Patriots are building a new 50,000 square foot function space, the G-P Atrium, overlooking the game field at Gillette Stadium, according to Gillette Stadium's website. This new structure is part of a broader project that also includes a large outdoor curved-radius videoboard and a reimagined Plaza. In addition, the Patriots have invested $50 million in a new facility adjacent to the stadium, expected to open in 2026.

This is presently all of the offices and first floor team areas minus the locker rooms.


This is the new three story structure at the back of the stadium::

The new three-story training facility for the New England Patriots will more than double the team's current footprint inside Gillette Stadium, according to the Patriots official website and other news sources. Specifically, the new facility will be a standalone training center located near the team's practice fields. While the exact square footage isn't specified, it's clear the new structure will be significantly larger than the team's current facilities inside the stadium.

Here's what we know about the new facility:

• Location: Behind Gillette Stadium near the practice fields.
  
  
• Purpose: To be a standalone training facility for the exclusive use of the football team, according to the Patriots official news release.
  
  
• Size: More than double the current footprint inside Gillette Stadium.
  
  
• Features: Includes a new training room, nutrition center, cold plunge, hot tubs, and virtual reality rooms.
  
  
• Completion: Construction is expected to be finished by spring 2026.

So there's no ""official"" size............................yet.

Your house is 9000 square feet?
You showed me a picture of your house after you moved in. I find it hard to believe it is 9000 sq ft.
Look up your address on Zillow. It will tell you your square footage........

NOT my house......the L-O-T

I know everyone wants me to look bad.........but.............I was very specific.
