MLS: New England Revolution Stadium Project Receives Official Approval

After three decades of sharing a stadium with the New England Patriots, the five-time MLS Cup finalists are finally securing a home of their own.

The Kraft Group has finalized an agreement with Boston and Everett to construct a 25,000-seat soccer-specific stadium on a formerly industrial stretch of the Mystic River.

This project promises more than just a pitch; it includes a comprehensive environmental cleanup, essential transit improvements, and local community investments. The goal is to revitalize a neglected area of land, transforming it into a lively, public waterfront hub.

The Kraft Group, owners of Foxborough Stadium, has committed to a major redevelopment plan involving the cleanup and removal of a long-unused power plant, alongside significant infrastructure and traffic upgrades.

The deal includes substantial financial packages for local municipalities: Boston is slated to receive nearly $48 million over 15 years—plus ongoing revenue from events—while Everett will receive approximately $91.7 million over 20 years.

Despite initial pushback, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu approved the project following extensive negotiations, joining Everett Mayor Carlo DeMaria in hailing the move as a vital investment in the region’s future.

“The city fought for a fair deal for Boston and our residents, and that is what we have achieved through this agreement,” she said. “This stadium will enhance Boston’s position as the sports and entertainment capital of New England.”

The upcoming debut of Boston Legacy FC in the NWSL means two well-funded professional clubs are now simultaneously pursuing independent stadium projects in the same market.

It is perplexing that the Revolution and Boston Legacy aren’t collaborating on a unified “soccer hub” to pool resources and infrastructure. By operating in silos, both organizations risk duplicating expenses and exhausting the region’s limited political support.
