Conceived in the early 2000s and opened in 2008, Patriot Place is an extension of Gillette Stadium developed by the Kraft Group’s construction and real estate team. It was the first mixed-use entertainment complex of its kind and has served as the model for the recent boom of attaching mixed-use developments to sports venues to provide year-round guests with dining, entertainment, hospitality, specialty retail, lodging and world-class health care.
