In celebration of professional football’s opening weekend, New England’s only LEGOLAND® Discovery Center  unveiled the latest feature for its MINILAND® attraction last week, a large-scale replica of Gillette Stadium constructed from more than 33,000 LEGO® bricks. A video is available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOdtgeS5taA.

The 19-square-foot (5’9” x 3’2”) model, which took 380 hours to build, features many of the stadium’s details, including Lighthouse, video scoreboard, concourses, bathrooms and a locker room. It also includes MINIFIGURES on the field and more than 500 seats.

“Gillette Stadium is home to one of our favorite championship teams, so it’s only fitting that it will have a spot in MINILAND,” said David Gilmore, General Manager for LEGOLAND Discovery Center Boston. “Along Fenway Park and TD Garden, MINILAND now will feature the homes of each of our four major professional teams.”

Displayed outside LEGOLAND Discovery Center Boston on Thursday, Sept. 4, the model soon will be installed permanently in MINILAND.

MINILAND features dozens of iconic buildings and landmarks from across Massachusetts, including the Prudential Tower, Boston Public Library and the Massachusetts State House.

Tickets for LEGOLAND Discovery Center are now available and can be pre-purchased online (http://www.legolanddiscoverycenter.com/boston/tickets-and-offers/ticket-prices.aspx) in order to guarantee admission.
