Big Dig Part II. Electric Boogaloo.

Kevin Costner? Is this you?

Retired? Can afford the tix to the Sox?

I didn’t say that they didn’t exist. They do. But not in the numbers that they used to. We’re getting closer to San Francisco and Brooklyn with every day from my eyes whenever I drive into Boston. For reference, I’m not against any stadium either. However, the upscale residents in Charlestown...

Grad Students, City Workers, Venture Capitalists. It’s all that I can think of.

Why not?

Feel like having a martini and putting on Sinatra

That thing is gonna collapse. Hence why I don’t go there anymore

Again, the T is always mobbed. That’s not what I’m saying. My experience is the majority of Boston residents who are at the games, are college kids. Non-residents of Boston. I only have anecdotal evidence myself. So, I’m going on intuition. No real analytical and statical data.

Have you seen the makeup of the City residents now? This isn’t the Garden 1988. Boston is more cosmopolitan than ever before and again, the only “Boston residents” that go are maybe a few bros in Southie, but the majority of people who go to see the Sox, Celtics and Bruins are from outside of 128.

I had the same thought at first, until I looked at the renders.

Well played, Stick…well played indubitably (Humble Brag Alert) As a newly certified City and Public Policy Maker, it goes without saying that we study enough social theory to pretend that we’re philosophers. At least I do. Moving on. People ask why it’s hard for stadiums or highways or...

I need to get a life… https://www.masslive.com/news/2023/12/new-england-revolution-disappointed-over-mass-legislature-benching-plan-for-new-stadium-in-everett.html

Not too shabby for 1909

Then lock the Revolution thread.

Back from the dead. The rise of The Ipswich.

Wasn’t my point, but go on.

Ouch. Anyways, it might not be “the heart” of the Back Bay, but it is an improvement for the Back Bay. Me thinks that Wu will fulfill Menino’s quest of burying much of the Pike with the next best thing to the failed Columbus Center project. When the next developer obtains the Air Rights to...

Well, we don’t know what will happen with the NWSL. It took almost thirty years for the WNBA to gain traction. The issues of gender inequality in professional sports still exists.

It might come to this where Kraft abandons Everett and strikes a deal with Wu (highly unlikely). To answer your question, for this to happen would require Kraft chipping in with the city and add more seats over the years to get the capacity up to 25k. Sidebar: I was thinking about it a second...
