"Invest in the actual roster": Patriots fans complain after team unveils new training facility plan

The New England Patriots are in for a major construction, but not of the team or the coaching staff as fans have been demanding, but of the training facility. The team announced Wednesday that it is working on a new training facillity that is set to become operational from the spring of 2026.

The stadium had undergone a massive reconstruction worth $250 million which was completed in September 2023. But players had been complaining of the training facility and now it seems the ownership has decided to pay heed.

The new facility will be three-stories high and extend over an area more than double that of the team's current facility inside the Pats' home, Gillette Stadium.

However, fans weren't too excited about the new training facility. According to them, the money should have been spent on building the roster so that the team could win more games.

"Invest in the actual roster thank you"

Another fan was concerned if the team would have enough money to sign great players once the season is over.

"Cool but do we have enough to get the best players in the off season?"

Other fans also chimed in with their reactions to the new training facility and urged the team to spend money on talent.

"Or, spend some money on talent???" one fan said.

"I’d rather they begin the new HC job search," another fan said.

"Hey how about start putting a team around our stud QB??????" one fan remarked.

"Looks like a warehouse" another fan commented about the new training facility.

2023 renovation was biggest in Patriots stadium history

The $250 million project undertaken last year was the most expensive ever in the history of the Patriots's home Gillette Stadium, which first opened its doors in 2002. The Foxboro-located stadium renovation included a 360-degree observation deck and a new 22-story lighthouse.

However, in terms of their record this season, the Patriots are 3-10 and are at the bottom of their division. Their new QB, Drake Maye, has shown promise so far this season, but a poor O-line continue to stand as a hurdle in the team securing more victories. Will Robert Kraft start to invest in his team as he did in the new training facility?
