Re: Somerville Soccer Stadium
1. Having a 3/4 empty stadium is and poor and unrealistic exhibit of a team's support and it is crappy atmosphere. A full stadium is 10 times better.
2. There would be better attendance at a stadium close to or in Boston with access to public transportation.
3. The NFL and MLS seasons overlap
4. The seats at Gillette are not covered - a necessity for a modern soccer stadium. A partial roof also improves atmosphere.
5. The Revolution have to play on an artificial surface at Gillette.
The Celtics and Bruins share an arena, without a problem. I just don't see the need for a new soccer stadium. Tell me, what is the problem with having the Revs play at Gillette? Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't Kraft own the Revs team? Does seem like there would be a problem paying rent at Gillette...
