Twenty-one student athletes competed in a game of Financial Football at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass. The Dec. 11, 2007, event brought together high school teams from each New England state and their State Treasurers with New England Patriots wide receiver Wes Welker and center Dan Koppen for a region-wide rollout of the game. Financial Football is an interactive, NFL-themed, money management video game that is part of a Visa/NFL financial education initiative. The event was the twelfth stop of this year's national education campaign sponsored by Visa, the NFL and PLAYERS INC.
