FOXBOROUGH – Thousands of Patriots fans gathered on Patriot Place Plaza on Saturday to witness the re-induction of 12 members of the Patriots Hall of Fame and the induction of the Hall of Fame’s 13th member, tight end Ben Coates, who was elected by Patriots fans in 2008.Patriots Hall of Famers Nick Buoniconti, Gino Cappelletti, Coates, Steve Grogan, John Hannah, Mike Haynes, Stanley Morgan, Steve Nelson, Babe Parilli and Andre Tippett were on hand for the re-induction ceremony as part of the Inaugural Induction Weekend at The Hall at Patriot Place presented by Raytheon.Following a video tribute to their career, each Hall of Famer was called to the stage and presented a red Patriots Hall of Fame blazer by Patriots Chairman and CEO Robert Kraft before taking questions from emcees Gil Santos and John Rooke. Following the ceremony, the Hall of Famers entered The Hall, where they are immortalized on 30-foot-high, six-foot-wide video pylons that are visible from both inside and outside the state-of-the-art building.”One of the greatest things about sports is the bond players and fans share. You feel like you’ve lived through the same experiences and share the same memories,” said Kraft. “That was one of our motivations in building The Hall. We wanted to create a place where our fans and alumni could visit and relive those moments together. We wanted to preserve the legacy of this franchise and give our greatest players the most prominent display of any hall of fame in the world.””Ever since the Kraft family took over this organization, they’ve made me feel welcome,” said 2008 Hall of Fame inductee Coates. “It’s great to come back and see this magnificent place that they’ve built now. This is just great.”The re-induction ceremony was the signature event of the Inaugural Induction Weekend at The Hall at Patriot Place presented by Raytheon. On Sunday, the Patriots Hall of Famers were recognized at halftime of the Patriots-Dolphins game. On Monday, The Hall will open to the public for the first time.
