On this day in 1994, the Kraft family bought the Pats and changed the team forever. Prior to that, the team floundered through the late 80's and early 90's under the ownership of Victor Kiam and later with James Orthwein. There was speculation that the team might relocate to St Louis.
Orthwein brought Bill Parcells to the team in 1993. The Krafts were able to use their Foxboro Stdium ownership to their advantage in order to pull the deal off. The rest is history.
It has been a marvelous ride for fans as the team has made the playoff 13 times, with five Super Bowl appearances and three wins. We can't forget the 11 Divisional titles and six AFC Championship games.
They have the most wins of any franchise since 1994. There isn't much more a fan could ask for.
