As Gillette Stadium hosts World Cup matches this summer, Robert Kraft and the New England Patriots have sued the town of Foxborough over licensing fees, claiming “the town repeatedly misused its state-granted licensing authority to unlawfully extract funds from the plaintiffs.”
The suit was filed in Norfolk County Superior Court on Monday, June 15.
According to the lawsuit, Foxborough has state authorization to charge the plaintiffs a maximum fee of $100 each year to renew the stadium’s entertainment license.
The lawsuit alleges that the town of Foxborough has imposed an illegal tax on the plaintiffs.
This April, “Foxborough used what should have been a routine entertainment license renewal as a pretext to charge plaintiffs approximately $1 million in new administrative fees,” the lawsuit states.
