Somerville would be a good area except there is no where to put it.
The other issue is a stadium to be profitable needs other uses... a Rev only stadium wouldn't be nearly as big as foxboro and wouldn't have any other real uses.
Yes, I know int'l soccer comes her and plays, but if the new revs stadium holds 30K and foxboro holds 60K where do you think Brazil v. Argentina will play? Foxboro... it's a huge party in the lots for tailgating and the game sells out.
Many decades ago the Patriots played at Fenway... so a soccer field would fit...
They could play at BC's stadium... BU has a great soccer field, but doesn't hold enough people, plus no place to tail gate.
The other issue we're all forgetting is Robert Kraft owns the Revs... make no sense for him to have them not play at foxboro.
Do they run the trains for Revs games like the do Patriot games?
