It’s been 7 years since the last send-off rally, and boy, is New England eager with excitement to send off our title town team to the Super Bowl!
Exact details for the Super Bowl send-off rally have yet to be confirmed by the New England Patriots, who typically announce details on their social media pages about the exact date and time for the send-off rally.
What is a send-off rally?
A send-off rally is a sporting tradition in which fans gather to bid bon voyage and good luck to their team before they take off to score the championship! It’s a longstanding tradition across many global sporting organizations, especially the NFL.
As one would expect, New England’s known for hosting some of the most lively and energetic send-offs in sporting history. And with seven years of pent-up energy to unleash, we’re sure this year’s send-off will be no different.
Thousands of fans—35,000 was New England’s largest recorded—bid the players farewell before they travel to the big faceoff. The entire team and coaching staff are usally present, and it’s a special moment for the players to soak up all of the enthusiasm and support of the fans.
