Revolution Stadium Groundbreaking "12-24 months" Part XV

It's time for the Krafts to get Widett the program!

Newly available Widett Circle site could fetch top dollar

So it seems that now the area is The Next Big Thing, maybe some (allegedly) savvy local businessman might have gone in and grabbed the parcel 3 years ago before everyone else got wind of it.

 

If only they were selling back then..."newly available" being the hint they weren't

 

This actually could be ideal news, in a universe where the Krafts actually want to build an urban SSS. The parcel they were eyeing in is the city property just north of the Widett land that's going up for sale. It's an opportunity to piggyback on a larger project and possibly deflect the predictable rage of Southie residents.

 

I‎t is all fraud. The krafts plan is to pretend to look as most franchises go up in value. Krafts will build a stadium in the day someone else pays for I‎t. We have had almost 20 years of the kraft BS

 

All I can say is that at least he's not like Precourt, who bought his team with the sole purpose of moving it to Austin, just because there are more guys there with ISIS beards, tattoo sleeves and faux fedoras ($12.99 at WalMart) than there are in Columbus.

Not that it means the Krafts have such high ethics--they would have moved the Patriots out of town--but they just aren't smart enough to have the long-range vision to do something like Precourt's plan. Which, by the way, will fail miserably...

 

Not just urban SSS - they could build an urban Patriots Place. Foot traffic and all that jazz. Certainly a big enough parcel for an urban man mall, given the Krafts are real estate tycoons these days.

The irony is it wouldn't shock me if tonedeaf Bob Kraft, in a well meaning philanthropic gesture, allowed Southie High or another local American football team to make it their new home field, getting us the same football lines problem as Gillette has every fall.

 

Is there even a rumored spot the Revs are currently looking at?

 

Oh, Krafts love rumors. Actually spending money is where they draw the line.

 

Bob Kraft is currently looking at a spot on the carpet in his Gillette Stadium office.

Rumor has it that Mike Burns - while making his daily lunch-run for the Revolution staff - dropped the Slaw Be Jo that he picked up for Mr. Kraft at Capriotti's Sandwich Shop right in the middle of said floor-covering. So, now Mike's off to the Stop & Shop on Main Street in Foxboro to rent a Rug Doctor carpet cleaner.

 

Don't be hatin' on the Slaw Be Jo.

 

In 15 useless threads about this imminent SSS, this has to be one of the top 5 posts

 

Hey the Red Sox said "This is gonna be our year!" for 86 years, and eventually it came true in 2004.

So, sometime in the next 86 years, the Revs will get their SSS.

 

"But that trick never works"

 

And when and if it gets built it must be called Brigadoon/Unicorn Stadium!

 

I also think that the size of this thread, and all of it's iterations, are a factor of the comments/replies about not having a stadium plan, rather than rumors/information about any potential plan.

 

Out of morbid curiosity I looked up the first thread. Dec. 7, 2010...approaching the 7 year mark of wild speculation!

Revolution Stadium groundbreaking "12-24 months"

 

"... a day that will live in infamy."

 

Since then, Patfan has blown through his million dollars on beers and boobs, and Tomhill's pony died.

 

Haha. That’s my comment.

 

Yes but that will be after the Krafts sell

 

so in other words season ticket sales are down and need a boost

 

If the negative snarky remarks were eliminated from this series of threads we could have kept it all confined to one thread
