BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts lawmakers are planning to vote this week on a bill that would clear the way for the construction of a new soccer stadium for the New England Revolution in Everett, within sight of Boston and across the street from a casino and hotel complex.
The 43-acre (17-hectare) site is currently the location of the now defunct Mystic Generating Station along the Mystic River.
The team has been sharing Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, about 30 miles (50 kilometers) south of Boston, with the New England Patriots. Both teams are owned by Robert Kraft, CEO of the Kraft Group, which has been searching for space closer to Boston to build the stadium.
A representative for the Revolution declined to comment until after lawmakers vote.
