Back to the 90s

Posted by Mike Reiss, Globe Staff May 7, 2008 04:16 PM

A handful of Patriots players from the 1990s -- a group including Drew Bledsoe, Willie McGinest, Todd Rucci, Chris Slade and Scott Zolak -- are scheduled to be present at Gillette Stadium on Thursday.

According to the Patriots, "the players have been invited by the team to record stories from their playing days for a unique fan experience that will debut when The Hall at Patriot Place presented by Raytheon opens this summer."

The players will also receive a tour of the construction site at The Hall at Patriot Place. Previous recordings have included alumni groupings from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.

Media members will be on hand to chronicle the return of Bledsoe and Co., and the plan will be to post some updates here tomorrow in the late afternoon/early evening. The tour starts at approximately 4 p.m. ET.

  1. I'm outraged!!!

    I think its a disgrace that great players from the 90's like Harold Shaw, Chris Canty, and Tony Simmons weren't invited to speak for this exhibit.

    Shame on you, Mr. Kraft. Shame on the whole organization!

  1. I was rather surprised to see that Ben Coates wasn't on the list, as one could argue he was one of the most prominent members of the Patriots organization throughout the 1990's.

  1. Tell Drew Thanks for everything he did for this franchise. He was always a class act and I will always be a huge fan
