Jonathan Kraft hopes vaccines will allow for Gillette Stadium to be at full capacity this season

As more and more Massachusetts residents receive their COVID-19 vaccinations, hope for a return to normalcy continues to climb.

Patriots president Jonathan Kraft is among those who are hopeful. Kraft, who is also the president of The Kraft Group, believes that vaccinations and herd immunity will allow for Gillette Stadium to be at full capacity for this upcoming Patriots season.

“Once vaccines have been available in a community for a long enough period of time where anyone who’s wanted one could’ve gotten it and reached two weeks past their second shot, just to take the outlying point, then I don’t know why you shouldn’t be at full capacity,” Kraft said during one of the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference’s virtual panel discussions on Friday, via The Boston Globe’s Michael Silverman.
