The impending snowstorm didn't stop thousands of Patriots fans from gathering late Monday morning for a Super Bowl sendoff. Before the team's midday flight to Arizona for Super Bowl XLIX, the Patriots stopped by Boston's City Hall Plaza for a rally.
WBUR photographer Jesse Costa was there to capture the scene.
