In the summer of 2005, country singer Kenny Chesney arrived in Boston to perform at Gillette Stadium for the first time. Playing a massive football stadium was a rarity in those days and Robert Kraft, owner of the New England Patriots and Gillette Stadium, understood the risk.
“We were grateful that he had the confidence to book a stadium show here,” Patriots owner Robert Kraft said. He invited Chesney to lunch a couple of days before the concert.
