Tom Brady gets a 12 foot statue and fans cannot agree on the perfect pose

On August 8, 2025, the New England Patriots will unveil a statue honoring Tom Brady outside Gillette Stadium before their preseason game vs. the Washington Commanders. The statue stands 12 feet tall and sits in the plaza outside the New England Patriots Hall of Fame.

Fans are already talking about which Tom Brady moment this statue will capture. Some say it’s the perfect chance to honor his legacy. Others are upset that the tribute comes before a preseason game, not a regular season or playoff moment.

The New England Patriots will hold a short unveiling ceremony in the Patriot Place Plaza on August 8, 2025, around 6:00 p.m., just before kickoff. Attendance is limited, but fans inside Gillette Stadium will see it live on the video boards.

Both owner Robert Kraft and Tom Brady are expected to speak at the event. Kraft first announced the statue in June 2024 when Brady entered the Patriots Hall of Fame and had his No. 12 jersey retired. The monument symbolizes Tom Brady’s place as not just the greatest in team history but as one of the best in NFL history.
