Friday, Feb. 21: Houston, we have … no problem! Ten years ago this month (Feb. 1, 2004), the New England Patriots won Super Bowl XXXVIII, 32-29, over the Carolina Panthers at Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas, in what many consider to be one of the greatest Super Bowl games of all time. After a scoreless first quarter, both teams erupted for a flurry of points before halftime. Neither team scored in the third quarter before a record-setting fourth quarter flurry that ended with Super Bowl MVP Tom Brady leading a final-minute drive to set up kicker Adam Vinatieri for another last-second Super Bowl-winning field goal. In recognition of this historic game, The Hall will be showing Super Bowl XXXVIII at noon on Feb. 21. The Hall will also supply popcorn and bottled water while you relive that amazing night.

The Hall at Patriot Place presented by Raytheon is the crown jewel of Patriot Place and the only sports and education experience of its kind. Through a dazzling array of interactive multimedia exhibits and artifacts never before viewable by the public, The Hall at Patriot Place presented by Raytheon showcases the tradition of the New England Patriots, explores the history of football in New England, and promotes math and science education for the thousands of schoolchildren expected to visit each year.
