Hey all --

As we walked into Gillette just now -- surprisingly, on a Tuesday -- we were looking at the beautiful emerald green field, and noticed someone taking a walk on it: Pats owner Bob Kraft. Kraft was apparently admiring the work, which was laid down faster than any FieldTurf field previous. Kraft was spotted talking to a couple of the workers as well.

As reported in last week's Journal, the workers from RAD Sports, who did the site work, said the Krafts and New England couldn't have treated them any better, offering food and even cots as the men worked nearly round-the-clock.
