“I’m excited to come back to Somerset for what we’ll call season two of Sopranos Night,” said Schirripa. “We had a lot of fun meeting some great people last year and seeing all the love they still have for the show. We wanted to add some new elements to the night that fans will enjoy. From myself, my family and of course Willieboy, we can’t wait to see everyone at the ballpark and cheer on the Patriots.”

Last season, over 7,600 fans attended Sopranos Night at the ballpark, making it the largest non-fireworks Saturday night attendance in Patriots history.
