Mark your calendars, New England Patriots fans.
On Thursday, the Patriots announced the date for unveiling a bronze statue of quarterback Tom Brady outside Gillette Stadium: August 8.
Team owner Robert Kraft initially revealed the plans to build the statue exactly one year ago Thursday during the ceremony to enshrine Brady into the Patriots Hall of Fame.
"Last year we commissioned a local sculptor to create a larger-than-life, bronze statue to perpetuate the legendary legacy of this once-in-a-lifetime player," Kraft said.
The statue, which is the first the team has built for any player, will be 12 feet tall, Kraft said at the time.
