Last Thursday, the New England Patriots hosted the St. Louis Rams for their second preseason game at Gillette Stadium. QB Tom Brady, rookie TE Rob Gronkowski and the Patriots offense looked great, but unfortunately lost to a heartbreaking Rams field goal with 3 seconds left in the game, with a final score of 36-35. However, we do have some excellent news to report – 1,956 Patriots fans pledged to be designated drivers! Thanks to all of you who pledged, we are holding onto 1st place in the NFL – and we need YOUR help to stay here! Please visit us next game and pledge to buckle up, never drink and drive, and never provide alcohol to minors.

Congratulations to our Designated Driver of the Game from the Patriots vs. New Orleans Saints preseason opener: Chris Corcione who experienced a pre-game field visit with his son, Nicholas. This could be YOU next game!!

On September 2nd, the Patriots will take on the New York Giants in their final preseason game at New Meadowlands Stadium. We can’t wait to see all of you at the regular season home opener when the Patriots take on the Cincinnati Bengals on September 12th! Stop by our designated driver booths, make the pledge to be a designated driver, and receive your free keychain, soda and 10% at the online Patriots ProShop!

Remember to sign up at any of our designated-driver locations:

• Each of the stadium gates
• Guest Service Booths at the 50 yard lines on the 100 and 300 level concourses
• Each Concierge Booth in the Fidelity Investments Clubhouse

GO PATS!

At the end of the season, one fan, the Patriots Designated Driver for the Season, will be the Honorary Team Captain and join the Patriots captains for the coin toss on the 50-yard-line to start the final home game of the season on January 2, 2011. The Patriots Designated Driver for the Season will also receive an autographed Patriots helmet and have a chance to follow the Patriots to Super Bowl XLV at Cowboys Stadium in North Texas on February 6, 2011. At Gillette Stadium this season, there is no doubt that Responsibility Has Its Rewards.
