Officials say it is the largest turn-out they have ever seen for an event like this.

The crowds watched a special performance from the Blue Man Group, cheered ‘one more’ and got to hear from team owner Robert Kraft and their favorite players.

"It's going to take a lot, offensively, defensively, special teams, this has got to be the best game of the year,” Tom Brady said to a sea of fans. “We got to bring it, You guys got to bring it and hopefully we can bring the trophy back home."

The team landed in Georgia Sunday night where they will go head to head with the Los Angeles Rams at the Mercedes Benz Stadium in less than a week.
