BOSTON (AP/MyFoxBoston.com) - Just hours before the big snow storm hits, the city of Boston has scheduled a special City Hall send off the Super Bowl-bound New England Patriots.
During a lunch-time rally at City Hall, New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and Coach Bill Belichick will address fans. Patriots team captains Tom Brady, Dan Connolly, Vince Wilfork, Devin McCourty and Matthew Slater are also scheduled to take the mic.
Mayor Mary Walsh is hosting the Monday celebration, which starts at 11 a.m. "I am thrilled to host our conference champion New England Patriots at City Hall to rally before we send them off to another Super Bowl," said Mayor Walsh. "This is an exciting time for Boston, and I remind all fans to celebrate responsibly and make our City proud."
The rally is the final stop before heading to Glendale, Arizona, where the Patriots will play in their sixth Super Bowl appearance of the Belichick era. They face the defending champion Seattle Seahawks next Sunday.
The Patriots defeated the Indianapolis Colts 45-7 to advance to the title game. A controversy arose afterward over whether the Patriots used footballs that were deliberately under-inflated for a competitive advantage, which they have denied.
