Latest On Stadium Issue. With the Massachusetts officials going nowhere with the stadium plan, Patriots owner Bob Kraft is forced to keep his ears open. A new plan was brought his way by Connecticut officials about a proposed plan for a domed stadium. Kraft has not commented on this issue recently, but he doesn't dismiss the idea. He spoke with the officials and he says they just "talked." There is not much of a hurry for a new stadium, but Kraft needs one for the Patriots soon. He would prefer to build a multimillion, 60,000+ seats, open air, and grass fielded stadium just a few miles from Foxboro Stadium, our present stadium. The Connecticut plan would build a 50,000 seat stadium with a complete or partially covered dome roof. The plans for the stadium in Foxboro are still a possibility, but it just hasn't passed yet. Hopefully, the officials will make the right choice and grant Mr. Kraft the land, resources, and necessary facilities for the stadium. At first, Kraft wanted a stadium in Boston's waterfront, but Boston officials refused the plan because they thought a stadium would ruin the area. With all the highways and traffic that would arrive with the development of the stadium, residents would complain and it would lower the standard of living. I totally disagree with the Boston officials and I believe if the Patriots are worth it, which they are, then this would be an obvious decision. Would you rather have the Patriots remain in Massachusetts or have them move to Rhode Island or Connecticut? |
