On his "Let's Go" podcast Monday night, Brady talked about his return and said that he has nothing but gratitude for the Patriots organization.
"It will be a special reunion," Brady said. "I'm excited to get there. I haven't been back much.
"I had two decades of incredible life-altering experiences. I have so many memories from my time there," he added. "I'm creating a new memory with the people there and to go back to that stadium and bring my kids and my family in a different way, you know. I haven't been to that stadium in this way ever. I went there as a player. I went once as a competitor and now I'm going to go there as a fan. I will be there in the future as a broadcaster."
You can see the ceremony Sunday afternoon on WBZ-TV. Coverage begins with Patriots Gameday at 11:30 a.m. Then the Patriots and Eagles kickoff at 4:35 p.m. You can watch all the highlights on the Fifth Quarter postgame show on TV-38 immediately after the game.
