Three cheers for Patriots fans?
Try 31.
The Patriots’ cheering squad, which upped its ranks from 24 to 31 cheerleaders at its February auditions, has been in full swing for months, director Tracy Sormanti said.
“We have a bigger squad and we have a great goal and commitment to have a bigger impact in the community,” she said.
Sormanti said the pompom tossers, who all either attend school or have jobs outside of their Patriots duties, have met with fans at 200 individual appearances since this year’s squad was formed.
“Through all those appearances during the lockout, the fans were anxious but really patient,” she said. “The fans came back wholeheartedly and we just want to say thank you for that because we have the best fans in the NFL.”
