Prepping for Pats arrival

Posted by Mike Reiss, Globe Staff January 27, 2008 04:50 PM

SCOTTSDALE – The Patriots are scheduled to arrive here at the Westin Kierland Resort and Spa at approximately 7:30 p.m. ET. The resort overlooks a plush golf course and there is a mini waterfall in the lobby of the sparkling hotel. There is a heavy security presence outside and inside the hotel.

Patriots coach Bill Belichick is scheduled to hold a press conference here upon the team’s arrival, at around 7:45 p.m. ET. Six players are also expected to answer questions from the press, a group that includes:

QB Tom Brady
LB Tedy Bruschi
RB Kevin Faulk
LB Mike Vrabel
C Dan Koppen
DL Richard Seymour

We’ll plan on posting an update shortly after the press conferences take place.

  1. Mike, I imagine that they are landing at Sky Harbor, or is it possible that they will land at Scottsdale Airpark, seeing as it is within a few minutes of the Hotel. I am not sure if Scottsdale has runways long enough, though.

    I have advised everyone associated with our club that security is going to be very high and that they should NOT expect to see them at the airport.

    Again, you are welcome to join our media evening at the Vine on Tuesday evening, following media day at the stadium. We have WBZ-TV on hand, perhaps WCVB-TV, and of course Persons from the Patriots organization. COME ON DOWN MIKE, and say hello to several of our club officers, and members.

  1. Actually ceez, Mike Allen's comments - from continued bashing of Ellis Hobbs to just about everything else - is pretty annoying. Mike Reiss appears to be a good guy. I'd be disappointed to hear him hanging out with this player hater.
