Five Things You Need to Know: Monday, April 16

The New England Patriots are celebrating Patriots Day at the stadium today.

Happy Patriots Day.

1. What better way to spend Patriot Day then with the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium. Defensive lineman Vince Wilfolk will be speaking at the Hal from 6:30-8 p.m. Fans can bring one item to be signed. You will also be able to get your picture taken Tom Brady's MVP trophies from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Make sure bring your camera. If donate a new or gentley warm pair of greens to Cradles to Crayons or donate $20, you will be able to go on to the Gillette Stadium field and have your picture taken with a Patriot cheerleader.

2. With the expected unseasonably warm weather temperatures, any Boston Marathon runner wants to skip the event this year, can run next year instead. Be careful out there runners.
