Me too. I’ve been posting all along, but more from the vantage point that the big white cube architecture of this museum is completely out of character with that corner. It would fit very well elsewhere, but that location is out of context.

My daughter and I go to 2-3 Washington Spirit games per season and we always take the Metro in. That walk is no problem at all (obviously more of an issue for those with physical challenges). Plus, Audi field doesn’t have the waterfront transport access that this stadium will most probably have.

Kraft already donates use of Gillette Stadium for the 8 annual MIAA State Football Championship games. I have no idea if this will happen, but I’d roflmao if North Shore high schools played MORE football games in this beautiful 25,000 state of the art stadium that their towns paid ZILCH for...

You keep veering away from the discussion and turning this personal. The sure sign of someone who doesn’t have confidence in their point is to start throwing personal. This is a website to discuss ideas and development, not for personal agendas and attacks. Why can’t you stay to the subject...

Who would ever want that?? Baltimore is a sewer. YOU’RE those who is arguing FOR a (partially) taxpayer funded stadium (White) and AGAINST a privately funded one (Everett). Your point shows a concerning confusion. Unlike you, I’m AGAINST taxpayer funded stadiums (like Baltimore’s, where the...

Bingo. AND he’s still offering $15 million for Everett community center and housing plus the $750k to Boston across the river. Look, if the NIMBY’s want to keep that potential off the table and let Mystic River be what it has been, then that is definitely the way things have almost always been...

This is a great new development on the edge of- - 400 new jobs in a very highly sought future industry (think the future of shipping and delivery and what that can unleash for cleaner transport energy/faster movement, etc). Plus, they will more than double the ground lease rent to the City than...

I appreciate your very thoughtful and in depth post on this. However, Kraft is offering much more than $750,000 to Boston - - this development is in Everett. “The community” is across the Mystic River. In addition to the Brownfields environmental cleanup of that area along the Mystic, from...

Yup, and also plenty of potential options on the casino/stadium riverside too. Both sides of that Mystic River could be primed to be activated with cafes, parks, etc.

Once again, you are using the word “now” regarding an open palette. And Franklin Park is NOT an open palette. It will have to change character to attract the consumer the Legacy are targeting. That screams economic failure on every level - - the choice is stark - -either respect the present...

…..and that’s just the beginning of what could be opened up if the leaders allowed the potential on both sides of the Mystic River there (Charlestown/Somerville/Medford - Chelsea/Everett/Malden).

Those suburban girls soccer families walking around Franklin Park and surrounding streets on a Wednesday night deciding where to eat??????? Sorry, but you’re going to have to do a LOT of very locally and politically unpopular displacement (people would be pissed and rightfully so to have to...

True. But the style and materials are nowhere near contextual with Fenway/Back Bay style red brick. And its platform is Seinfeld’s parents’ Del Boca Vista Phase II.

The replacing buildings were from the first half of the 20th century when the area was a polluting mess of toxic plants. Now we are in the 21st century and there is a huge white modern casino resort next door. The context is completely different in 2025 for that location. I love red brick as...

Context. It’s not in the Fens. It’s next to the Encore casino. You want red brick?

I respect you have a different opinion. Samsongam is giving me a far more informative and reasoned discussion on the matter than merely website “gotcha” arguments. As I noted all along - the proof will be in the pudding - we will see. I fervently hope I’m wrong, because if not, this would be...

Wait - you gave me a pop quiz and I obliged and listed 4 reasons - - and then you respond with THAT? 😂 But there it is, right there in your moving the goalposts response. That’s the Tommy Finneran line. The 1990’s was all Tom Finneran vs. Bob Kraft. Question: Who ended up providing...

Who says Kraft “feels neglected”??? He just wants to build the freaking stadium and get on with it. Wu is throwing up the roadblock. If Wu dropped it tomorrow, it gets done. Are you under ACTUALLY the impression that the delay is because “Kraft feels neglected”???? And btw, the cleanup...
