extremely wealthy investors that happen to have ownership in other sports & entertainment capital ventures get to build those stadiums for their own private benefits by LEASING THEM for other venues, IOW those stand-alone soccer specific structures aren't soccer-specific that much ;) BTW...

thanks for the info. (y)

Nowadays Stadium infrastructure cannot survive as isolated islands or "white elephant monuments"- either those structures are meant to be designed for multi-purpose venues that can be used all year round, or have additional commercial, assembly, even residential (hotel) components incorporated...

Can't help but thinking what kind of "science" is going to be practiced inside that building, when its street level resembles a military installation or a bunker. :rolleyes:

that's solving "half of the problem" since the other traffic bottleneck happens a few yards away when Willard St. meets the rotary.....

my thoughts exactly. Not to diminish the potential of the development, which could be equal to Seaport in scale, but is worth questioning what's behind the selling/abandonment of energy infrastructure of that size, under the current circumstances with Oil prices & Oil reserves under enormous...

but before it was a bridge with a bus stop - IOW it was an infrastructure element with a horrible bus stop location- granted it was awful- but because the void is now filled with two insipid towers and a pseudo plaza does it make it "better"? I'm not against the development at all, since I was...

I walked by the area few days ago and kept thinking how such project got approved in the first place from the aesthetic & urbanistic POV.... 🤷‍♂️ those towers are completely disconnected from the existing blocks in similar height, character & proportions.. they're literally two white masts...

Well, since the World Cup is happening in the USA in 2026, maybe is not such a bad idea to construct a football soccer stadium. Chelsea is the spot

there is an abysmal difference between the Vietnam Memorial & this MLK statue, since one does NOT have clear figurative human biological reference of sexual organs in display. compare apples to apples i.e Vietnam Memorial vs Berlin's memorial of the murdered Jews of Europe

behold "The Dick Holder" I cannot understand the fact that the sculpture was created on computer 3D models & small scale sculpture models PRIOR to its approval & construction, so the artist & everyone involved in its creation could have noticed, realized & countered the "controversial angle/view...

This project's concept is very likely to be incorporated at Wollaston's T station in 10+ years time when the next construction boom happens...

I was a bit concern about the overall result of this building, but I'm very pleased the way it was built- specially the facade with the balconies & solid wall that distinguishes it from all the glass boxes around the bay.

So I bet you don't use the commuter rail at all, do you?

Re: South Station Tower Agreed. And I can't even think of the nightmare for the commuter rail users while that monstrosity gets erected ......

Re: Crossroads at Kenmore | 560 Commonwealth Ave | Kenmore Square I like it :)

sorry but all the proposals are "horrible" to be honest & polite. Make the competition International

I'm aware of that too - I never stated the need for the Mass Ave portion to be as high as the towers, but to simply gain few stories in order to have proper facade - that's all ;)

Because I'm well aware of that, I question the design for having that lower portion of the building parallel to Mass av for that green roof solution, as opposed to gaining more stories on that side while providing a higher facade with much more character -and if the project has constrains on Sq...

I somewhat like the proposal, even if its architecture isn't that great at all, but the idea of filling up that "no man's land" with a new structure that can bring continuity to the mass av building blocks with new commerce for pedestrians while giving a new dynamic to the area, seems the right...
