FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Kraft Sports + Entertainment today announced an extension of their longstanding partnership with JetBlue as the Official Airline of the New England Patriots, New England Revolution, and Gillette Stadium and introduced the JetBlue Loft, a new premium hospitality space at Gillette Stadium designed to bring fans closer to the action while creating an elevated setting for private events throughout the year. Spanning 15,000 square feet, the JetBlue Loft will pair the energy of game day with the comfort and thoughtful hospitality associated with JetBlue. The space will feature a bar stretching more than 62 feet, premium buffet service, nearly two dozen televisions, private restrooms and a dramatic feature screen measuring 5 feet 7 inches high by 59 feet wide. The JetBlue Loft will serve as the new home of the Patriots Tailgate Party presented by Bud Light, giving guests a spacious, immersive place to gather before kickoff. On non-game days, the flexible venue will become a distinctive private event setting for corporate gatherings, receptions and other special occasions at Gillette Stadium.

The Jets can possess the football for almost two-thirds of the first half and still go to the locker room trailing, 17-3. The Pats can spend a good portion of the game on their heels, keep losing offensive lineman — is John Hannah available? — and turn the ball over a couple more times. A. J. Brown can make his big comeback and treat the football like a live grenade.
