Revolution Stadium Groundbreaking "12-24 months" Part XV

it is alive... so is season ticket renewal season.

 

No need to read any further...

 

Let me guess, a Boston mayor is commenting about a soccer stadium during the World Cup followed by ..nothing. When have we seen that before?

Yawn... nothing to see here.

 

It is? mid-June? Haven't heard a word myself.

 

My rep upgraded us to a box. I suspect they do that for every STH, which is smart, because after all it's the revs and corporate box seats are mostly left empty. These days the STH renewal process is ongoing (which makes more sense IMHO), not a traditional time-based full-court press. The revs are getting savvier about their sales process and letting the experience sell itself, differentiating them from Boston's big 4. Box upgrades, the road trip to NY or Philly as part of your package is brilliant. Have to give them credit for that.

 

I was just offered that too but declined. I enjoy discussing the game with the STHs around us.

 

I sat in a box once a few years ago. It was a nice view, and I moved to the first row of the red seats, but it was a little antiseptic and sterile...

 

Of course but if they did that for any other Boston pro team, would you turn it down? Not me.

 

I did sit in a lug-jury box at a Celtics game once, and it was all well and good, but yes, I would have liked being more out in the main area where fans are. The best seats I ever had was when my old (now defunct) company had seats right behind the visiting team's bench at the Celtics. There was a rookie referee, and some of the guys on the bench were brutal!

 

My family used to sit up there regularly when we had a player living with us. It is not the same experience. The food was a little better but that was the only plus.

 

I'd pay a modest premium to have a small number of floating upgrade coupons to get into the club seats. March and April can be brutal, weather-wise.

"Jonathan... let's touch base with the folks over at Rand-Whitney Container and find out whether we could build one of these modular stadiums out of corrugated cardboard boxes."

 

Wouldn't shock me if they explored the idea.

 

maybe when Columbus moves he can buy the bleachers at a cheap price

 

NESN article on Mas' mention: https://nesn.com/2018/07/are-revolution-planning-to-build-soccer-stadium-in-downtown-boston/

Supposedly, near the Gahden!?

 

Great area!

But where is the available 10-12 acres minimum for a 20k stadium?

 

Twitter is ablaze with renewed energy and vigor for all things stadia. A fascinating bit of psychology happening there right now.

 

I predict the Revs will break ground on a new SSS before we get to

Samantha Ormsby responds on #NERevs Boston stadium: "Mayor Walsh has always said that he’s interested in building a soccer stadium in Boston, however there is currently no proposal before the city."

I think the Revs are going to have to make a statement of some kind, like it or not. They must be bs at this guy for running his mouth.

 

Hmmm.

Yes.
