I would love for this team to have their own stadium. However, I firmly believe that Everett is a terrible location. It’s difficult to get to/ from and parking will be horrendous.
Why it “needs” to be in Boston is beyond me. This will greatly alienate fans south of the city.
If they believe being in the city will improve attendance, I’m not sure that would work in Everett.
It would be far more beneficial for a team to start winning. Put more stock in the product vs. the packaging. It’s worked for other MLS teams, why not here?
It needs to be near Boston cause that’s where the density is. They aren’t worried about drivers as the surrounding area has parking lots. The goal is to be where the people are and that’s the capital.
Would love an SSF in Boston but will go to fewer games if it’s in Everett away from public transit. It has to be accès and agree with Shawn it should consider fans to the south that make up a bulk of current fans. Scrap this and White Stadium and find somewhere south on the redline or orange line for both teams to share
Nearly a mile, about 3 times further than the walk from most parking lots to Gillette and about twice as far as green line to Fenway. Probably not close enough to generate significant use
If the stadium ever gets built in Everett, I for one will give up my season tickets. Will pay for season pass. Be much cheaper than the ticket prices and parking and hassle of getting there.
Bilello, at the season ticket holder event pre-season, was a man possessed about this Everett site, how it would help put the Revs on par name recognition-wise with the Red Sox and Bruins, how relying on public transportation (and no parking) was the goal. When asked why not put a stadium in Foxboro and use the commuter rail, he scoffed, “No one uses that!” The only time the dude opens his mouth all season is to say “Everett.” Not “striker” or “improve” or “fan experience.”
According to Transfermarkt.com the Rev were 4th last season in overall average attendance; ~30,300 per game. This season we’ve fallen off to 9th; ~22,400 per game.
Post-Covid the team has finished between 7th and 10th across the league for average attendance; ranging 15k to 24k attendance.
Based on those numbers I’m not convinced the organization is too motivated to build a stadium. I think it would rather appear to be interested than actually build it.
Such a missed opportunity to fold an NWSL team into the mix with a shared stadium.
My hope is that the team’s bluff is called, it builds the stadium, and sells the team to ownership interested in on-field results.

Sullivan Station (orange line) is not too far from the proposed stadium.

I’m with Brian on this one. The T and parking are not great. Driving in for a week night game would be a nightmare from outside the city.
As a fan from north of the city, driving to a weeknight game at Gillette is a nightmare. It takes twice as long as a Saturday game.

The MBTA doesn't run the Foxboro train for most Revs games.
It’s because the commuter rail schedule is less ideal than t
