Jeez - all the local shops are racing to report this - seems like the PR folks are busy. https://commonwealthbeacon.org/economy/short-takes-healey-backs-everett-soccer-stadium/

Staying on topic of the actual traffic related to a NE Revs game... attendance is growing, with this past year being the highest in the team's history.

NIMBY ALERT "Residents have voiced concerns about safety, the merits of the PSH model, and the idea that the project would work, considering aspects such as neighborhood services needed to fully support the individuals who might live in the PSH units and much more. “There’s really a mountain...

The 3D proposal tool for the parking lots is fun to play with https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/7f14bf5d60f44b9f9ef70076d37b48be/

https://mass.streetsblog.org/2024/01/10/bostons-next-bus-rapid-transit-line-would-link-downtown-sullivan-square-before-the-end-of-this-decade I know is this the wrong thread, but it ties together a LOT of the the next phase of growth for Charlestown and had some good notes: 1. They are still...

"Construction on the site is expected to begin. Draw Seven State Park, a nine-acre space that currently features soccer fields and paved trails for biking or walking, is undergoing renovations, and according to a timeline on DCR's website, things will begin to get underway "late summer 2024."...

Oh come on - you're all smart enough to think a little more creatively. Encore, with a lot DIRECTLY NEXT TO THE STADIUM, AND A SKYWAY TO THE CASINO is ABSOLUTELY going to use it's parking for this, it just will make the parking ALSO require gambling/restaurants/spend. To be clear, I think this...

"With the permanent closure of Bowdoin station, many have called for the emergency head house west of Government Center to be converted to a regular-use head house. MBTA senior project manager Shannon Greenwell said the MBTA has no plans to make the conversion. According to Greenwell, the...

Working hard to gather public support! "[Sen DiDomenico] said the process began several months ago when there was talk about a soccer stadium development on a decommissioned power plant site in Everett. “Now we have the opportunity to turn the page on an industrial site and bring something to...

I guess it was always there, it just was hidden by more interesting design concepts. It's still a central pillar of the neighborhood though... Will be hard to obscure that cheap of a build, but I guess the Cheerleader Effect is real...

Was struggling a little bit to see where all these proposed connections fit together. Looks like the current garage door turns into the stairway/tunnel? EDIT: PS - Count me in for that Parquet floor!

Because we're here to talk about the ARCHITECTURE AND URBAN DESIGN... what does an MLS stadium look like?

Really disappointing lack of effort on the first building. Even Assembly and Ink Block started with higher quality materials and designs to allow for good placemaking, and then the later "filler buildings" aren't as nice. This looks like on-sale vinyl siding, and barely an air-sealed building...

FIFA publishes it's "Stadium Guidelines." I'd assume the facility will meet the minimums to allow for international competitions. https://publications.fifa.com/en/football-stadiums-guidelines/technical-guideline/stadium-guidelines/stadium-guidelines-overview/ The MLS has a "Venue Design Guide"...

Well that's an interesting find. I wonder why the B&G club doesn't activate it as an entrance and instead leaves it for business parking spots...?
