The New England Patriots were not allowed to host a Monday Night Footbal game between 1982 and 1994. The Patriots MNF game in 1981 was a raucous and rowdy affair, with scores of arrests and alcohol fueled fan violence.
After that demonstration of boorish behavior by the Pats Faithful, the Town of Foxborough petitioned the NFL to ban MNF games in New England. The NFL consented, and the Patriots were not allowed to have any more home MNF games. Until 1995 that is. The new owner of the Patriots, Bob Kraft, sucessfully petitioned the Town of Foxborough and the NFL to allow MNF to return to Foxborough.
