the financial backing and stability to do the kind of type of things we wanted to do in the past" The deal had to clear several complicated hurdles including those caused by the Sullivan family’s debts and the status of bankrupt Sullivan Stadium at Foxboro Mass the team’s home The stadium situation remained unresolved Billy Sullivan said his family had put more than $100 million into the team and the stadium Kiam would not discuss financial details except to say he owned “at least 51 percent" of the club He said he was willing to make a financial commitment to winning “Getting nothing but the finest talent won’t be a question of finances or financial need” Kiam said Kiam advanced the club money to help pay its bills even before he became owner “I won’t be a he said of his role “But I like to find out what make things tick I love football It’s m'y favorite spectator sport" Kiam praised Patriots’ Coach Raymond Berry and said he would stay along with vice president Bucko Kiiroy and
