New England Patriots

Jen and Dan 3

Dan Sweeney

Dan has been a New England Patriots fan since childhood and remembers sitting in the family car listening to games on the radio when they weren't televised. After not attending their first Super Bowl appearance in 1985 against the Bears, he vowed to go to the next one, and when the opportunity presented itself in 1997, his wife, Jen, offered to accompany him. That cemented her love of the game and the two of them have attended all 10 of the Patriots Super Bowl appearances since then along with matchups in London, Germany, and multiple US destinations including Green Bay. They have been Season Ticket Members since 2000 and, after experiencing the first Patriots Super Bowl victory in 2001, could never have dreamed about the incredible history they would witness. Ranking high on their list of favorite memories are the Snow Bowl, the unimaginable comeback against Atlanta and sharing two Super Bowl wins with their daughter, Mackenzie, against the Seahawks and the Rams, respectively. They are grateful that the Patriots organization is one they can be proud to support and appreciate being recognized with such an honor as there is no shortage of amazing Patriots fans!
