The Patriots are practicing indoors because Bill Belichick is concerned about spies in skyscrapers

Many former Rams are still convinced the Patriots filmed their walkthrough ahead of Super Bowl XXXVI. Bill Belichick isn’t taking any chances this week as New England prepares to face the franchise again 17 years later.

Before the Patriots traveled to Atlanta, they spent last week practicing indoors in Foxborough. They’ve stuck to the same plan in Georgia, conducting all of their pregame preparations at Georgia Tech’s indoor facility.

The facility is just over a mile away from the team’s downtown hotel, which has cut down on travel time. But that’s not the primary reason the Patriots chose it over Bobby Dodd Stadium, the university’s usual football grounds.
