The New England Patriots’ Gillette Stadium has always been one of the hardest places in the NFL to kick a football in. This year, however, is extra special: the northern end zone is undergoing a massive reconstruction project, which in turn impacts the in-stadium environment.
One thing it has therefore not been is consistent, as Patriots special teams coach Cam Achord said on Tuesday. However, he also explained how the team is trying to adapt to the challenge that the ever-changing construction site presents.
“It changes, there’s no doubt about that,” Achord said about the predictability of the wind patterns.
