First Store In 'Patriot Place' To Open In November

(WBZ) FOXBORO A huge Bass Pro Shops will open in mid-November as the anchor store to Robert Kraft's "Patriot Place" development next to Gillette Stadium.

Officials from the Missouri-based sporting goods chain were in Foxboro Thursday to give reporters a sneak-peek inside.

The Bass Pro Shops will be a 150,000 square foot store that's the size of three-and-a-half football fields.

It will include an aquarium and an indoor waterfall.

Kraft says the amenities will make the store an ideal draw for "Patriot Place," a $500 million retail development that will include movie theaters and other retail outlets, like Christmas Tree Shops and Victoria's Secret.

thanks for the update cigarlover can't wait til november. I also heard a cabelas was going to be going within 5 miles of the new bps.

The Cabelas is going to be in East Hartford CT. I think it's supposed to open around the same time as BPS but haven't heard anything recently.

Anyone know if BPS sells any small bird lures? I see HUGE bass, salmon, lake trout, pike, and walleyes just blowing up on small white/gray birds. I saw, must have been 10lb+ landlocked salmon blow up on a bluegay at watchusett reservior.

GT- Nortthern Bass supply has bird lures.  This is THE tackle shop for the northeast.  I hope BPS doesn't put them out of biz, they have been serving New England well.  They carry EVERYTHING.  Cool set up too.  They have 1 of everything on the wall.  You walk around with an order slip and write down product #'s.  Turn in the slip and they fill the order while you wait.

They are in Brentwood,NH, just over the border from Mass. and also have a site
