马萨诸塞高中橄榄球州决赛告别 Gillette Stadium:自2007年以来的办赛传统因档期冲突中断

马萨诸塞州校际体育协会(MIAA)11月2日宣布,2026年马萨诸塞州高中橄榄球州决赛将不在马萨诸塞州诺福克县 Foxborough 的 Gillette Stadium 举行,结束自2007年以来连续在该体育场办赛的传统。协会发言人 Jim Clark 在声明中说,协会上周末获悉,Gillette Stadium 已不再是州决赛的可用选项;本赛季州锦标赛本周开打,协会将努力为学生运动员和学校社区寻找能提供最佳决赛体验的场地。
州决赛原定于12月5日那个周末举行,而新英格兰爱国者队定于12月6日在主场迎战 Buffalo Bills;美国职业足球大联盟的新英格兰革命队也可能在12月2日和12月5日主办季后赛。Gillette Stadium 方面同日证实,由于革命队季后赛和爱国者队主场比赛带来的日程限制及后勤安排,体育场今年无法承办州决赛,并表示该体育场与 Kraft 家族近二十年来一直免费提供场地主办州决赛,希望未来能再次承办。
协会表示,新的决赛场地尚待落实;上个赛季,马萨诸塞州是全美九个在 NFL 体育场举行州决赛的州之一。

Massachusetts High School Football Finals Lose Gillette Stadium as Host, Ending a Run Since 2007 Over Scheduling Conflicts
The Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association (MIAA) announced on November 2 that the 2026 state high school football championship games will not be played at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Norfolk County, Massachusetts, ending a run of finals held there annually since 2007. MIAA spokesperson Jim Clark said the association was informed late the previous week that Gillette Stadium was no longer an option, and that with the 2026 tournament beginning this week, the association will work to secure host sites providing the best championship experience for student-athletes and school communities.
The finals are scheduled for the weekend of December 5, with the New England Patriots set to host the Buffalo Bills on December 6; the New England Revolution of MLS could also host playoff games on December 2 and 5. A Gillette Stadium spokesperson confirmed the same day that scheduling constraints and logistics from the Revolution's playoff schedule and the Patriots' December 6 home game make it unable to host the finals this year, noting the stadium and the Kraft family have donated the venue for nearly two decades and hope to host again in the future.
The association said a new venue has yet to be secured; last season, Massachusetts was one of nine states holding state championships at NFL stadiums.
