The whole project is designed around the players and the player experience," Kraft Sports and Entertainment Chief Operating Officer Jim Nolan said in a statement. As teams and team operations have grown, it was time for us to design a larger facility exclusively for the operation of the football team.
Among the included features are a nutrition center, a player lounge, virtual reality rooms, meeting rooms, and training rooms with an expansion of "hydro" capabilities that includes hot tubs, cold plunge tubs, a pool and an underwater treadmill.
While the team's game day set up, including the current locker room, will remain inside Gillette Stadium, day-to-day activities will be moved to the new facility. The main floor is designed for where the players will work out, train, rehab, relax, and eat.
In last year's NFLPA survey, the organization's working conditions received poor grades from their own players. That included failing grades for their weight room and treatment of player families, while also ranking fourth-worst overall in the league with a D-plus grade.
