FOXBORO -- Gillette Stadium probably isn't going to get the Super Bowl anytime soon -- if ever. But hosting eight High School Super Bowls every year isn't half bad.

This marks the 16th year that Gillette Stadium and the Kraft family will welcome MIAA high school football teams to compete for a state title on the famous turf.
