Boston Patriots' early home at Nickerson Field

The Boston Patriots, an original American Football League franchise founded in 1959 that later became the New England Patriots, played their early home games at Boston University's Nickerson Field (the site of former Braves Field) from 1960 through 1962. The venue served as the team's first regular home before they moved to other stadiums in the region. This period marks the franchise's Boston-based origins.
