The New England Patriots are honoring the GOAT at Gillette Stadium this summer.
The team announced that it will unveil a Tom Brady statue at its home stadium on Friday, Aug. 8, ahead of its preseason opener against the Washington Commanders.
The Patriots’ announcement came on Thursday (6/12), which has been dubbed “Tom Brady Day” for the quarterback’s six Super Bowl titles in New England and No. 12 jersey.
Plans for a 12-foot Brady statue at Gillette Stadium were first announced a year ago on June 12, 2024, when he was inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame.
“[The statue] will stand alone in the plaza outside of the Hall of Fame to symbolize his position, not as the greatest in franchise history, but as the greatest in all of NFL history,” Patriots owner Robert Kraft said at the time.
