Re: Site in Hub top choice for a soccer stadium
I'm not much of a sports nut but it's hard to look at the areas around Fenway Park and the Garden and think those places are a waste of space/poor urbanism. They are both very active on non-event days and lot of that is due to people going to the venues built for event days. It's a win/win.
Now if they proposed surrounding the new stadium with parking lots, yeah, absolutely not. If you want an urban stadium, you are going to have to sacrifice your tailgating, sorry.
