The Patriots are the “New England Patriots,” a region, not just a city. Fun fact: they’re the only NFL team with a name tied to neither a state nor a city.

The Pats’ stadium is in the Boston ‘burbs but roughly halfway between downtown Boston and Providence, Rhode Island. Indeed, the team’s private jet is parked at and typically flies out of PVD.

It's a Boston team, though. They were the Boston Patriots for 10 years. I think using Boston as the "home city" is a fair choice.
