".........But because "they treat sick people there" you're a demon if you dare to criticize." Did someone actually call a critic of this building's architecture a "demon"?

Providence has never been more fun than Boston for any age group. Nice foodie scene, though. I live in Maryland now and my kids are grown, but almost every family here with a high school graduating kid says their kids all want Boston. I have yet to hear someone here ever mentioning Providence.

I fully look forward to any and all concrete suggestions to how we can get back to pure professional sporting events untouched by the US tax code (that shrimp and champagne in the hospitality tent/corporate suite is tax deductible as a business entertainment expense) economic realities of 2025...

BOVA’S!!!!!!

I’m in the DC suburbs now, but lived in Catonsville (SW Baltimore) in the late 80’s/early 90s. I can vouch, it is a big Newark. Tragic for it once was a great city with remarkable architecture.

Great point - - and it underlines what KIND of attendance they are looking for next to that $2.6 billion casino. Kraft is looking at the franchise the way 21st century franchises are targeted - - as Hospitality/Tourism/Entertainment. Again, I mourn the change. There was something so great...

Amen. I would be one of those. Unfortunately, economically, we are tilting at windmills on that. It is what it is.

Another fun fact, Henry - -Post #2,013 introduced “edgy and confrontational” into the discussion. ;)

As a human who loved what sports used to be - I fully agree with you. However, in 2025, big league professional sports franchise are not “sporting clubs”, they are hospitality/entertainment corporations. I don’t like it either, but it is what it is. The Legacy and Franklin Park may be a nice...

There are humans everywhere. Humans with discretionary income and big wallets on vacation, etc. are the reason why Vegas now has major league franchises all of a sudden and others have have lost them. Look, I am no fan of these casinos and that whole gambling culture- - just stating the...

Interesting points: 1) "If the Legacy start with the Breaker's highest average attendance (8,120) and grow by 6% each year, they will exceed 11,000 in average attendance in year 6." They can only "exceed 11,000" if they build new capacity onto it - the capacity of the renovated stadium is...

……a $2.6 billion highly profitable and rapidly growing/expanding "gaming venue". What's around Franklin Park???? Today, sports is an INDUSTRY. They don't want kids biking from around the corner to be the main clientele. For better or for worse (and as a sports fan, I think it's worse - but...

NWSL is flying. The franchise in Boston (and Boston's prior history with the Breakers) is a completely different story. THAT is the problem . The Boston franchise is already making decisions that will render it the poor relative in a healthy/growing league. They're already stumbling out of...

LOL at someone confusing capacity with league average attendance. 1) Fenway's capacity (37,755) is 28.5+% over league average attendance. 2) 2024 Red Sox attendance was 12.3% OVER league average (even in a lackluster .500 year where they were 13 games out in the AL EAST) 2) MLB average...

……except that the Krafts had previously made serious overtures to the Legacy(or whatever they were called before) to be tenants in their larger, better soccer-only stadium (not sharing a high school football field or track). Wu wanted to have a major league NWSL franchise in Boston and made the...

https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/42633495/nwsl-sets-new-attendance-record-2024 Simple Math: -The renovated White Stadium will have a slightly under 11,000 capacity. - 2024 NWSL league AVERAGE attendance was 11,250...........and the league is growing attendance by over 6% per year - that...

Way too wide for Gibson Girl - -but still beautiful - more like Lane Bryant. .....and then there is the Roseanne Barr: https://archboston.com/community/threads/lab-building-n%C3%A9e-hotel-hampshire-34-40-hampshire-st-cambridge.6605/page-6

I hear ya, and this is indeed awesome, but I like the Lyra - - it's sleek and tall and truly "metropolitanizes" the dynamic on Huntington Avenue across from Symphony Hall- - this one is a bit of a fatty in a fat farm neighborhood. But it is a beauty..

Done.(y)

So give us the WHY instead of just throwing and running away. I AGREE with you about the windows, but try respecting the rest of us not to just spout a three word opinion without giving a REASON. Instead of just burping a one note opinion, REWARD US ALL with the reasoning behind it. If...
