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...

"Everett representatives are pushing to revive the measure this Legislative year on behalf of the city. State Sen. Sal DiDomenico, D-Everett, has pledged to file a separate bill that would move along construction of a soccer stadium and waterfront park along the Mystic River."...

I'm a little worried about which design direction they'll go for here. With Encore across the street, I'm imagining they'll go faux-chic - lots of curvy bronze glass - like what's being designed out in Reno at the Grand Sierra Resort. What I'd LOVE is if they focused on keeping the...

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...?

How deep does a planter box need to be to get a tree properly rooted?

Every game has a processional march from the North End? 1 if by land 2 if by sea?

Sorry for bumping... Was thinking about the Silver line extension options. What ever happened to the Silver Line Way pilot findings? I never found the final decision, but can see that it was taken back out of use on googlemaps...

Not a Maura Healey voter? That building always had a lot of rats running around it... ;) PS - Love the proposed design

Maybe I'm being greedy... but this neighborhood is in desperate need of a tower and not a parking garage to be its signature piece...

Let the market decide? I think this is the second real large-scale neighborhood to be recreated in the close-in suburban ring after Assembly Row, but without the "luxury" perks. It's close enough to Boston you will get demand from both the city overflow and local interest. These real estate...

@BeeLine @Arlington Time for its own thread?
