Overview
- The Patriots revealed the 12-foot bronze likeness of Tom Brady on August 8 at Patriot Place Plaza just before their preseason opener against the Washington Commanders.
- Brady became the first player in franchise history to receive a permanent statue after his No. 12 jersey was retired and his Patriots Hall of Fame induction accelerated his enshrinement.
- Local firm Buccacio Sculpture Services spent over 20,000 labor hours crafting the statue, whose 12-foot height and six-sided base symbolize Brady’s jersey number and Super Bowl titles.
- Owner Robert Kraft delivered opening remarks and Brady followed with a humorous speech—jabbing at Jets fans and Bill Belichick—while the ceremony was broadcast live on stadium video boards and regional TV.
- The monument now resides outside the Patriots Hall of Fame at Gillette Stadium, completing a multi-year tribute that cements Brady’s legacy in New England.
