The cuts involve 5 percent of the full-time event staffing for Gillette Stadium, a holding of the Kraft Group, according to the New England Patriots' executive director of media relations, Stacey James.

The employees staff football games, soccer games, concerts, trade shows and all other events, James said. The layoffs affect people who work at the facility all year, not temporary workers who are brought in to work during special events.

The staffs of the Patriots and New England Revolution soccer team were not affected, James said.

Patriot Place, a new retail and entertainment facility near the stadium, is doing well, James said.
