Finally, a city willing to buck the recent trend of urban, transit-oriented soccer stadia.

The site is literally no further from Sullivan Station than much of the new Seaport development is from South Station. AND Silver Line Extension planning study route alternatives all ensure further transit connectivity through here (in addition to 3 existing bus routes, bus network redesign, complimentary ferry service via Encore Boston Harbor, and their whole shuttle bus operation.

This is an urban, transit-oriented stadium proposal.

It will have a footbridge directly to the orange line assembly line station so its definitely still transit oriented development.

I thought the bridge was going to be west of the casino and this stadium would be 2-3 blocks east of the casino. A CR stop near the casino would be better.

The Seaport doesn’t have any mass transit lines at all and the Silver Line is a bus with a marketing scheme.
 
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

We already have a forlorn suburban stadium where those games are being played.

OP means Assembly (without the Line) of course. If the footbridge gets built, you could take it and cross the Casino to get to the Stadium. It's a bit of a hike, yes, but nothing major.

“A bit of a hike” is what absolutely kills transit mode share, especially when the “hike” is one of the most unpleasant stretches of river in the country.

You mean by the Charlestown bus garage? No, I don't spend my time there.

I was speaking specifically about your disparagement of the Mystic River. It's pretty well cleaned up, with attractive parks on both sides. That's why I asked. Since the answer is no, I suggest you go check it out, before talking about whether the walk is reasonable or attractive.
 
This makes perfect sense, get it done.
Stick in a silver line option and build the footbridge to Assembly.
Run game day ferries from down town to Encore.
Could end up being a great sport/entertainment district.
And much cleaner and better looking than what is/was there.
do it!

So much passion! And they say Americans don't care about soccer...

Anyways, go Revs, build the stadium on the old oil tanks, run a few buses and a train and ignore the NIMBYs

Americans do care about soccer. It's too bad there are so many of these soccer fans that care more about a European soccer team than they do about their local MLS team. The number of Chelsea and Manchester City fans you see around is pretty laughable.

Anyways, hopefully this does not end up being some sort of tease and it's 2025 with still no movement.

Who cares? It's a decidedly inferior level of.. everything. Do we get on fans of Euro basketball that wear Lakers jerseys?
