FOXBORO, Mass. (WPRI) — The New England Patriots will pay tribute on Wednesday to an already legendary figure in team history: Tom Brady.

Brady will be enshrined in the team’s Hall of Fame at 7 p.m. For the first time, the ceremony will be held right on the field at Gillette Stadium, in front of a sellout crowd.

Normally, players have to wait four years before they can be inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame, but owner Robert Kraft announced last summer that the team would be making an exception for Brady.

They scheduled the event for 6/12 to commemorate the number of Super Bowls that Brady won in New England, plus his jersey number, which will be retired.
