UConn James Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/05/11/sports/gillette-stadium-breaks-ground-225-million-renovation/ Quote The project will enclose the north end of the stadium with year-round hospitality and function space and a massive videoboard hanging over the field. … The stadium cost approximately $350 million to build, with $300 million spent on renovations and $350 million for Patriot Place. The $225 million price-tag for this latest renovation lifts the Krafts’ expenditures to $1.2 billion on their Foxborough property. A 22,000 sq. ft. HD video board at the former open end and what looks like concourses / atrium space that will essentially finally enclose the field.
