1) “Too Many Balls” fiasco - you can google the ample recounting of this marketing malpractice 2). Team naming fiasco - another to Google 3) The sudden departure of Linda Henry Pizzutti from the ownership team (what’s the backstory there- did she decide to take up stamp collecting?) 4)...

I disagree with you about the NWSL. That league is growing steadily, has a good business plan and knows what they are doing. Relative level of play aside - the league has found the demographic key to its marketing and is succeeding as it hadn’t before. The Boston franchise, however, doesn’t...

Sounds like a lovely small town event! I too enjoy those simple pleasures in small suburbs going to minor league baseball games, etc. I’m sure that will increase the employment in Boston by several handfuls of jobs. That type of thinking sounds like the worry about buildings being too tall...

Perhaps I’m wrong, but I would assume a fully BPS facility would afford BPS 100% access 365 days per year for full sports seasons - especially football. So yeah, that is a trade-off that makes access issue ‘less than optimal’. Compared to NOW, yes, it is an expansion. Is it “optimal”. By...

Great High School stadium. No argument there. Let’s see how much it costs, who will pay the bills and how much access BPS students get. The first two items are undivulged at this point. The third is less than optimal.

Actually both. if the team doesn’t make it financially - that will hurt the city. The team will be on the line with financed debt - of a moving target where the final cost isn’t being divulged - versus defined rental costs, smaller ticket revenue from an 11,000 capacity vs 25,000, less...

When was the last Boston Mayor to lose re-election????? Curley almost a century ago, while in prison????? I happen to support Mayor Wu in most areas. This one, however, makes very little economic sense to me. We’ll see how it all plays out, but for now, Wu is not divulging the ACTUAL COST...

No need to get personal. We’re discussing a subject. People who are comfortable with themselves don’t need to ‘own someone on the inetrnet’ if someone has a different opinion. BTW, I am a huge supporter of the NWSL, my daughter loves the USWNT and I fervently hope Boston (which SHOULD be a...

I’m just a poster on a website. Michelle Wu is actually the Mayor responsible for this White Elephant……….you wanna hold her to the same standard you’re holding little ol’ me to??????? Concerning your post, couldn’t that be rephrased tho “Last time Mayor Wu said she would have the updated cost...

Slowly? Despite the Mayor’s declaration last spring, I guess we’ll see the next delayed installment of “slowly” next year. And, I’m sorry, I root for Greater Boston’s economy. The legacy will be taking on a very large debt for a new corporation and try to compete in the fast growing NWSL in...

https://www.bostonglobe.com/2025/12/10/metro/white-stadium-cost-estimate-delayed/#comment-209199674 This thread fascinates me - - I can’t help but watch over the next 2- 5 years as slowly the proponents here start realizing what is patently obvious to many others. Wu’s White Stadium is a...

Gawd, other than the Stata, that view looks like it could be Washington, DC. Thankfully, the Vegans are changing up the look!

And here I was thinking they’d want those to be labs since they’re Christian Scientists and all……….:)

Great pics, 22marc. Res Ipsa Loquitor. Anyone need any more proof that Cambridge Crossing is a ghost town????? Granted, it WAS the day before Thanksgiving, but I’ve been there on normal weekdays several times - early morn ing, mid-morning, late afternooon and while there are several nannies...

I agree, it IS as vey lovely park…..but not much “city” around it to “block out”. THAT is the tragedy of Cambridge Crossing. It is so close to both North Station and Kendall Square, yet they built it as if it were Burlington, MA. There is very little urban activation here, low pedestrian, low...

I’m in the right place, son. And, as we can all see right there, was 100% successful in actually making you state a “why” for your usual Ding Dong Ditch posts. There’s hope for you yet, if you can grow up.

Don’t wait for an elucidation from him. His modus operandi is to ring the doorbell and then run away. He makes blanket statements without explanation - it’s what he does. He’s been asked over and over to give the “why” to his kneejerk pronouncements, but he has no interest in actual...

It’s like the Patriots offensive line on the one yard line.

Yeah, that’s not what RandomWalk was saying. His words: “I would not be surprised if LEED mandates end up driving designs towards the larger floor plates. It’s probably easier to hit the efficiency numbers over a larger plate than a collection of smaller ones.” That long building looks like it...

I’m being Captain Obvious in predicting THAT (along with the pedestrian bridge over the Public Gardens swanboat pond) is going to be one of the most photographed spots for couples visiting Boston. Well done. Cities should be filled with mirth, whimsy, creativity and these types of spots...
