The announcement has also sparked excitement among Patriots fans, who have long supported one of the NFL’s most successful franchises.

Timeline and Expectations
Construction is slated to begin immediately following the 2025 NFL season, with major phases rolling out through 2026 and completion projected for mid-2027. The team plans to continue hosting games at Gillette Stadium during construction, with phased renovations designed to minimize disruption.

As the sports world reacts to the eye-popping $900 million investment, one thing is clear: Gillette Stadium is on the verge of becoming not just a football field, but a landmark of modern entertainment and innovation.
