If you’ve ever been to Gillette Stadium, you know it’s in the middle of nowhere, built off of I-95 and connected to a shopping complex about halfway between Providence and Boston. There’s an Olive Garden and a CVS and Bass Pro Shops and all of that.

You have to drive down Route 1 to get into the stadium, unless there’s a back entrance that I’m unaware of. But for Patriots fans heading to Thursday night’s preseason game, they’ll see this billboard on their way in:

It says “Go Birds, World Champs” and shows the 41-33 Super Bowl scoreline with Brandon Graham’s famous strip sack on the right. Jason Kelce, in parade garb, is in the middle.

Boston’s WBZ-TV did a story on the billboard, and some of the reactions are dumb as hell. One guy doesn’t recognize Tom Brady (who, admittedly is wearing a different number) and thinks it’s a player from the Carolina Panthers:

“That’s the Panthers, right?”

What? Really? What the hell..

More on the billboard from the WBZ article:

The sign is the brainchild of Gina Lewis, the “self-proclaimed biggest Eagles fan alive” and a Massachusetts resident.

Lewis says she bet a coworker that if she could receive 4,100 likes and 3,300 retweets of a Twitter post depicting Tom Brady fumbling the ball that he would have to pay for an Eagles billboard in Patriots Nation.

Lewis says her tweet received that and more and her co-worker ponied up $500. The rest of the money came from a GoFundMe page.

….

Lewis says the GoFundMe page is continuing to raise up to $10,000 to help the artist who designed the sign pay for the piece, with the rest of the proceeds going to the Carson Wentz AO1 Foundation.

That artist is Jordan Spector, who has done plenty of Eagles work in the past, including really cool paintings of Jalen Mills and Brian Dawkins. 

Anyway, I just can’t get over how dumb the Pats fan in the video is. A Carolina Panther? Why would there be a billboard featuring the Philadelphia Eagles and Carolina Panthers outside of Gillette Stadium?

But good job by Gina and Jordan and everyone who made this possible. The billboard runs for four weeks and rotates with four other digital ads that are also loaded into the system.

Next up, we’re gonna get an “I Hate Steven Singer” sign outside of the stadium:
