Two Sharon police officers were fined this month after one officer helped the other sneak into Gillette Stadium’s exclusive Putnam Club without tickets, according to the State Ethics Commission.
Officer Robert Awad was working a security detail at the Dec. 1, 2022, New England Patriots game when he helped officer John Avelar and a friend enter the Putnam Club, a “high-end indoor suite at Gillette Stadium where fans can watch the game from indoors, enjoy upscale food and drinks, and access exclusive outdoor seats,” the Ethics Commission said in a press release.
Putnam Club tickets are only available to the general public as part of season ticket packages that range from $6,000 to $10,000 per season, the commission noted.
