GoPats.com - Patriots Unofficial

Description

GoPats.com is the project that Mike Maddaloni and Clint Mills do with what little spare time they have. Originally started by Mike in 1995 as a way for him to learn what that new Web thing was, it has evolved into what you see today.

I began following the Patriots in 1982 at the age of 12, and was really hooked by 8th grade, the 1984 season. Beginning with the 1985 season my family has had Season tickets - 5 rows behind the visitors bench on the 40-yard line. I will never forget the goal posts coming down after the playoff clinching victory over the Bengals that year. Twenty-two years later I'm a married father of 3 and my enthusiasm and passion for this team has not waned a bit.

My high school years were great, with the 1985 AFC Championship followed by a division title in 1986. My first ever road game was the 1985 Wild Card game in the Meadowlands, and as for home games, I have not missed a single one since 1991. I was 6 hours from Foxboro while in college from the 1988 through 1991 seasons, yet still managed to attend an average of 6 games per season. Lest you need reminding, those were not good years to be a Patriots fan. The Patriots actually suffered the indignity of hosting an "away game" in Foxboro Stadium in week 16 of the 1990 season against the New York Giants when 40,000 Giants fans were easily able to obtain tickets.
