You can’t please everyone.
The New England Patriots learned that lesson Wednesday after the organization announced it was beginning construction on a new football training facility. The stand-alone facility is scheduled to be completed in the spring of 2026.
“The three-level structure will more than double the square footage of the team’s current footprint located inside Gillette Stadium,” according to a team release.
It will feature a nutrition center at the entrance, an enlarged player lounge and an expanded weight room that will open to three redesigned practice fields.
