Tom Brady Hall of Fame Ceremony: Expected Reunion for the Ages as Hundreds of Teammates Likely to Attend the “Larry Bird Night”-Like Event

Tom Brady remains the most successful quarterback in the NFL, with seven Super Bowls and three NFL MVPs, besides a plethora of league records. This includes the most QB wins at 251 in his 23 seasons of playing. So, as the New England Patriots Hall of Fame ceremony is around the corner, what would it take to honor the NFL GOAT? 

Patriots CEO Robert Kraft has a budget of $6 million to honor the retired legend. With a huge crowd of fans waiting for Tom Brady’s induction ceremony, Gillette Stadium has been chosen as the venue for the Hall of Fame ceremony. The stadium will play host to the event for the first time. The event is set to take place on June 12 to honor Brady’s achievements in New England, the month being his six SB wins with the Patriots and 12 being his jersey number. 

Hundreds of former teammates may attend

Tom Brady will be the first Patriots player to have the four-year wait period waived for him to enter the franchise’s Hall of Fame. And this upcoming ceremony will be huge because it promises to be a major Patriots reunion. According to a recent report by Boston.com, “hundreds of Tom Brady’s former teammates” will turn up for the event. ESPN’s Mike Reiss reported that former Patriots OL Damien Woody is “among the hundreds of former teammates of Brady who plan to be in attendance for Brady’s in-stadium sold-out induction.”

The ceremony will charge $100 per ticket, which led to some criticism among the people, with WEEI’s Adam Jones saying, “A hundred dollars is gross. This just feels like a money grab on the good times.” Regardless, fans can still go to lengths to see their idols, and for Brady’s fans, missing out on his induction ceremony would be the last thing they want. Who knows? It might be a more incredible experience than Larry Bird Night!

Tom Brady’s ceremony is expected to be similar to Larry Bird Night

Earlier in April, Reiss had pointed out that the upcoming HoF event is likely to be “similar” to the 1993 Celtics’ Larry Bird Night. It was a legendary 90-minute show of honor for the talented forward at the Boston Garden. 

A lot of details aren’t disclosed but there’s no doubt that the event is going to be epic. Tom Brady’s HoF ceremony, which will be hosted by NBC’s Mike Tirico, is scheduled for 7 PM – 9:30 PM but we never know what could follow. Stay tuned to see what unfolds.
