Tom Brady's home return has everybody excited, from everyday fans to A-list celebrities.

With the New England Patriots quarterback set to play his first game at Gillette Stadium this season on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals, Patriots owner Robert Kraft said demand from notable names has been "off the charts."

"We're all excited. We definitely have all the A-listers, they usually don't come out 'til the end of the season," Kraft told NFL Network's Stacey Dales on Sunday, according to Kevin Patra of NFL.com.

"But the request for tickets today are off the charts. A lot of it is Tommy's homecoming, so to speak. People are really excited. Being in Cleveland last week, this is my 21st season as an owner, and I never have been at the tunnel, waiting to go out on the field about an hour before the game, and I hear people chanting, 'Brady, Brady!' It was really amazing. I have no tickets left. That's really a tribute to Tommy, and what he's accomplished. Having him back, we're all excited."

Brady led the Patriots to victory last week over the Cleveland Browns after serving a four-game suspension to start the campaign.
