Is it time to tear down Fenway?

Foxboro is on the outer ring of Boston, more than 20 miles from the city's center (according to Google maps) and seemingly probably an hour or more of a drive for about half of the city's population.

You don't think having a centralized stadium as opposed to one way on the outskirts would affect attendance? NFL football is a different breed, they could put the Patriots in Maine and they'd probably still sell out every game because that's just how it is.

But technically the revolution are not operating in the black right now. Most MLS teams that are losing money can make more by building their own stadium and getting their own revenue, but the Revolution already have their own stadium, it just happens to be 5x bigger than what they need and well out of the way.
