    Regional Rail (RUR) & North-South Rail Link (NSRL)

    New England Revolution Stadium | 173 Alford Street | Boston-Everett

    Re: Site in Hub top choice for a soccer stadium There is nothing easy about getting to Foxborough for the Revs. The MBTA doesn't run the commuter rail trains like they do for the Patriots, so you have to drive. Easy would be a stadium that's near a rapid transit station.

    New England Revolution Stadium | 173 Alford Street | Boston-Everett

    Re: Site in Hub top choice for a soccer stadium Also, getting season tickets now means you won't be competing with a much larger crowd when the time comes for season 1 in the brand new stadium.

    Imagine Boston 2030

    Boston 2024

    Boston 2024

    Can we start a "Crazy Olympics Pitches" thread? There is precisely zero chance of the stadium going anywhere else. Do I think it should? Of course, but that's not happening. #MidtownOrBust
