We're thrilled to kick off the 2025 NFL season at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, home of the New England Patriots. With 12 years of NFL partnership, Extreme Networks remains at the forefront of innovation with the New England Patriots, enhancing fan experiences through cutting-edge Wi-Fi and mobile technology. Before kickoff, we joined Mike Israel, Chief Information Officer at the Kraft Group, owners and operators of Gillette Stadium, to learn more about what’s in store for 2025.
Imagine a game day where fans are not just spectators but active participants—ordering food seamlessly through their mobile devices, accessing exclusive video content and replays, and staying connected with the fastest, most reliable Wi-Fi. At Gillette Stadium, it's about more than just connectivity; it's about creating unforgettable moments, and analytics plays a crucial role in shaping these experiences.
"We closely monitor network analytics to understand fan behavior—where they go, what they do, and how they use their devices," explains Mike. "This data allows us to adapt and enhance the experience in real time, ensuring that every fan enjoys their visit to the fullest."
The Kraft Group's commitment to innovation extends beyond sports. Their paper and packaging manufacturing plants, which convert and trade more than 4 million tons of paper annually, also rely on Extreme Networks for robust, reliable network solutions.
As Gillette Stadium looks forward to another exciting NFL season and to hosting the FIFA World Cup in 2026, Extreme Networks remains a trusted partner dedicated to delivering superior service and support.
