This is where the Franklin Park plan starts to fall apart.
The vast majority of fans are in the ‘burbs and only a fraction of those will be in the direction of the T shuttle stops mentioned. If coming from the northeast, east, north, metrowest, west or other NE states, they’ll be expecting fans to make a long drive, park in a lot, hopefully take a shuttle, catch the game and reverse the process, with no prospect of a tailgate. Probably a 5-6 hour commitment for a 90 minute match.
I think if people can make the Red Sox work in Fenway. Folks can make the train and shuttles work here. I’d also say for 10k stadium I think a strong majority will be Boston based fans.
The lack of parking is definitely a difficulty for a lot of fans, but I am happy the team is looking into ways to provide transportation to Franklin Park. Hopefully the city and team can come up with a good system that can make the games more accessible for everyone. It's great to have the team right in Boston, I'm excited for 2026
This was always going to be the case for the team. The area is already congested and just like suggestions for the Revs stadium in Everett. It’s not feasible or necessary to build a full parking lot for a densely located stadium. We have shuttles, we have trains, and we have bike shares. It’s going to be a good time.
