Overview
- The New England Patriots announced Monday that Rob Gronkowski’s Patriots Hall of Fame induction will be held on Saturday, November 7 at Patriots Place Plaza with free public admission.
- Gronkowski’s induction follows his April election as the franchise’s 38th Hall member and will include the team’s formal presentation of the Hall honor.
- Tom Brady is scheduled to work the Patriots’ Sunday, November 8 broadcast for FOX at Gillette Stadium, which creates a proximate opportunity for the two teammates to reunite but the Patriots have not said Brady will attend the ceremony.
- Gronkowski spent nine seasons with New England after being drafted in 2010, finishing his Patriots career with 521 catches for 7,861 yards and 79 regular-season receiving touchdowns and winning three Super Bowls with the team.
- Fans should watch for later announcements about guest appearances and ceremony timing because a large, free public event the day before a home game could drive heavy turnout and significant media coverage for the weekend.
