The New England Patriots are undergoing infrastructure updates at their Foxborough campus. The organization is working to install a new artificial turf surface at Gillette Stadium after the NFL and the NFL Players Association determined the previous surface was non-compliant due to the absence of a required rubber shock pad.

In addition to the field replacement, the team has officially opened the New Balance Athletics Center. This 160,000-square-foot training facility is designed to centralize football operations, housing weight rooms, virtual reality technology, hydrotherapy pools, and sports science departments to support player development and injury mitigation.
