The new Tom Brady statue outside Gillette Stadium stands as a powerful tribute to one of the greatest careers in NFL history. Every detail of the monument was carefully chosen to reflect Brady's legacy in New England.
Height and Scale
- Figure height (foot to head): 12 feet
- Figure height to top of fist: 14.5 feet
- Base height: 2.5 feet
- Total height: 17 feet
The full 17-foot height honors Brady's 17 AFC East division titles, a record that underscores his sustained dominance in the league, while the 12-foot height of the figure honors Brady's now-retired jersey no. 12.
Weight and Materials
- Figure weight: 1,800 pounds
- Granite base weight: 10,500 pounds
- Total weight: 12,300 pounds
The statue is cast in bronze with a "French Brown" finish, giving it a rich, classic look. It rests on a solid block of granite quarried in Barre, Vermont, known for its high-quality stone. The granite, called "Honed Mist," features engraved letters that were sandblasted and treated with black lithochrome for durability and contrast.
Symbolism in Design
The base is shaped as a hexagon, representing Brady's six Super Bowl championships with the Patriots. It also nods to the six New England states, tying regional pride to football achievement in a subtle but meaningful way.
Built to Last
From the materials to the measurements, the statue was designed to endure and inspire. It reflects the strength, precision and legacy of Tom Brady, offering fans a lasting reminder of the standard he set in Foxborough.
