[edit] Nickname
"The Razor"? Is that a joke? I'm a season ticket-holder and I've never heard it called that in my life. Xinoph 05:36, September 8, 2005 (UTC)
- It's not as common as most nicknames for parks, but it is used by Sports Illustrated.Gateman1997 19:12, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
- Seriously? never? im pretty sure its used by our local press too....
I live in Foxboro and have NEVER heard it being called that by anyone who goes there or lives in town.
Most people in Rhode Island jokingly refer to it as "Call Me Gillette instead" (CMGI) Counterfit 01:58, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
- Any evidence to back this up?Gateman1997 03:30, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
I have seen a few news casts mostly WHDH refer to it as the razor, i have never heard the average fan refer to it as the razor they just call it gillette (Mikedlif 13:47, 12 January 2007 (UTC))
I'm putting a "citation needed" in for this - if anyone has any evidence feel free to link it 129.170.31.233 21:10, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Logo
maybe i am not getting something, but what is the logo on the field? Obviously not the Pats or NFL logos, but the weird shaped thing with line shooting out of the top. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.168.31.106 (talk • contribs) 13:09, 4 December 2006 (UTC).
Its the logo for Gillete Stadium, do you notice the lighthouse in the logo.--TheNation 03:37, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
The logo is illustrating what can be seen outside the far endzone on the picture on the page. By the way, sign your comments please 71.99.83.251 22:26, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
There's no way this is a volcano(!) I buy lighthouse. Or calipers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vsevolod4 (talk • contribs) 22:46, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Picture
As the stadium is most commonly known as the home of the New England Patriots, could someone find a usable picture featuring a football game instead of a soccer one. I mean seriously, the field is empty in the current one Black Harry (T|C) 01:32, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
The picture is satisfactory....and the stadium is full 66.30.130.133 19:08, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
I think there should be a football picture too, using a soccer picture is better than not having one at all. All of the NFL stadium pages I've seen have at least a picture if not multiple.--Tsurettejr 21:48, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Tower?
Can anyone add comment on why there is a tower, what the tower is and/or the significance of the tower? The article references the tower in the field logo, but not why there's a tower in the first place. It's fairly unique as far as stadiums go, so I think a mention would at least be appropriate.

- It's a lighthouse -- symbolic of New England. Pats1 T/C 22:59, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
