"This our third year in row having a rally it n ever gets old. It means a lot for our own home town to come together for our Patriots," said Lynda Walsh, organizer of the event.

"I am losing my mind. I am ready to go Beat LA. Beal LA," said Vieira.

"These are the real fans who can't afford season tickets or go to the Super Bowl. So, these are the real fans - out in the cold losing their voice," Sandra Bell said.

"It's a little cold, but we're excited, and we are pumped to support our team," said Paul Donnelly.

"It's great – great town and great tradition," said Mike Stuart.
