The Patriots Are Doing Construction to Fit All Their Super Bowl Banners

The Patriots are doing a little redecorating before the season opener against the Chiefs in four weeks.
After winning their fifth Super Bowl, the Patriots need a new home for their championship banners. They first had the realization in April and owner Robert Kraft teased last week that the Pats have a “surprise” for accomadating banner No. 5.
“We had a high-class problem because we had no more room to put banners,” Kraft said. “So we had to change the construction around, so we have a little surprise for our fans that night that should be very cool.”
With the season opener on the horizon, the team has gotten started on the construction.

So many banners - so little room.

So where are the banners going to end up? Kraft’s comments make it sound like it’ll be something pretty interesting. Maybe they’ll suspend them over the field?
