TUCSON, Ariz. — Between Monday night’s game against the Cardinals and this Sunday’s road matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders, the New England Patriots spent four days in Tucson, the location of the University of Arizona.
Roughly two hours southeast of Glendale, Ariz., where State Farm Stadium rises from the desert like a gargantuan toaster oven, Tucson is a picturesque, mountainside community that doubles as a bustling college town. There was plenty for Patriots players to do when they weren’t practicing at Arizona Stadium or utilizing the rest of the athletic department’s facilities.
However, it sounds like most of the downtime was spent hanging out at a nearby resort.
