BLOOMINGTON, Minn. -- The Patriots spent the final day before Super Bowl LII at U.S. Bank Stadium for a photo shoot with their families.
According to the pool report, the team spent an hour at the stadium taking a team picture and then a picture with the team and their families in front followed by individual family pictures.
Bill Belichick praised the families for all that they do.
"The families go through so much. They sacrifice so much for all of us and the time that we spend away and the strain that a season puts on them," he said to pool reporter Nicki Jhabvala. "So it's great to have them all here and it's great to give them an opportunity to be with their sons, daughters, husbands and to bring their family in and take pictures on the field and just kind of enjoy the day.
"It's a nice event for everybody -- the players and families, and the team picture with the kids. Everybody will look back on this."
Belichick said the team is on a normal Saturday schedule.
"This afternoon is a normal Saturday for us," Belichick said. "So it would either be traveling if we were on the road, or if we were home the players would have the afternoon off to relax, get a massage, just catch up on whatever. Then we meet tonight and play tomorrow. We're on as much of a normal routine as we can be on."
