I think it's possible sometime in the far future, but I don't think it's at all the expectation. Teams generally prefer to have their own stadium and build their own identity around it without being in the shadow of the other team, just like how the Revolution don't want to be in the shadow of...

I meant the Grand Junction section in Cambridge. I was thinking more along: ... Encore/Revolution Assembly Sullivan East Somerville (Green Line E) Brickbottom (Green Line D) Cambridge Street ... Kendall (general area) ... West Station ... Having CR infill stations at Sweester and Sullivan...

I hope that when the MBTA present next year that in addition to the SLX busway and bridge to Assembly that they bring up commuter rail infills at Sweester Circle and potentially Sullivan as well. I believe that Kraft is expected to match funding for public infrastructure projects associated with...

Let's not forget the "spaces for BPS strength and conditioning training, sports medicine facilities for student-athletes, student lounge space, and community space... The renovation will also allow BPS to take full advantage of the field, which will be able to support programming of 750-900...

This was back in 2009 right? At what point do we get to move on to other things if this doesn't come to fruition? I know Eastern Seaport and the Marine Park will get built out as much but there is development popping up all around there, particularly close to design center. My concern with...

Haven't seen this idea anywhere so I thought I'd put an image together for Silver line LRT conversion. I've been reading through @Riverside's and @Teban54's blogs learning more about GLRC ideas but I haven't seen too much discussion on what Silver Line LRT conversion would look like east of...

I guess I just don't get why that is such a positive. For buses, you're proposing saving at most like $1? on a super short trip in the urban core (which is really only competing with walking or biking because a car is already wildly expensive) compared to $1.70 by inconveniencing everyone and...

I lived in Virginia (quite close to Tyson's as well) for some of high school and visited my parents there when I was in college. As a broke student without a car, I hated the distance-based fare system on WMATA and having to pay 4-7 dollars to go into DC or get home. Plus, tapping out is such a...

Yeah, it would be very busy but is there any way around this? This is pretty much the only way out of Everett to the south towards Somerville/Charlestown and it interfaces with the parkway. I think regardless of how you rebuild it, you will still be dealing with a lot of traffic in this area...

I've been excited about the Everett Docklands and Soccer Stadium (I still have an unreasonable amount of hope ) projects and got a bit carried away crayoning out a transit-oriented redesign of Sweester Circle using as much of the existing bridge structures as possible. The goal is a...

Standing room is counted and it's pretty much a given that there will be some sort of standing supporters section on one side of the stadium and very likely two decks of seating on 2 or 3 sides as that's what you see in all modern MLS stadiums. Yeah the space is limited with the current...

The BPDA Board has just approved this private-public renovation project. I'm not sure what the next steps in the timeline are, but I'm hoping they can get shovels in the ground as soon as possible. The ongoing lawsuit has a hearing early next year but the consensus seems to be that it holds...

No personal attack on you @DZH22 but I think you're just missing the point of this stadium entirely. You're trying to dig your heels in on the American exceptionalism angle that centers/ glorifies burning fossil fuels in smokestacks or car engines and sports that are the best in the world...

The extension of the Silver Line was just recently funded by the federal government. It's already in place to be built, and it benefits the residents of Everett especially those who need it the most. "The existing MBTA bus routes that operate along this alignment are more likely to serve people...

While the traffic is certainly an issue as it stands, it's important to note that the stadium is transit-focused with almost no on-site parking for fans. The stadium proposal is leaning heavily on the Orange Line (15-20 minute walk) and an extended Silver Line in a dedicated busway down...

As mentioned earlier, any design posted is just a placeholder seemingly rushed for a press opportunity. Any discussion on what the stadium will look like and how/if it will incorporate the existing buildings is either ongoing or hasn't happened yet. Here are some images of MLS stadiums that are...

Wow, thanks for all the info and thorough responses. Below are some further explanations or questions. Tobin Bridge Indigo Line My rough Google Earth measurements have the length of the bridge from ground level to the highest point at ~5000 ft on the Charlestown side and ~4000 ft on the...

Hey everyone, I've been lurking for a while and got around to making my own fantasy T map. I call it Giga MBTA and it’s inspired by a lot of the helpful info on this forum along with a few ideas that I like. I tried to not make it entirely crazy by looping in projects that are being proposed in...

Hey everyone, I’ve been following your conversations for the past few months and got super excited about a bunch of the ideas shared on the forum. I went ahead and tried to map out a somewhat realistic route for a continuous urban ring with the lowest barrier to entry. The route is inspired...
