He would never move the Pats at this point, it was just poor planning back in the day when he held out for the best deal and threatened to move the team to CT. Revs stadium would only be 20k capacity and there are plenty of potential sites for that

Suffolk Downs would have been a very good site as the MBTA was already there as was parking.

Still rumblings about Everett. The site behind Night Shift will get redeveloped at some point. And the Mystic power plant redev is going to be huge. Still some opportunities left. Fingers crossed

Instead they're building housing there which is an even bigger problem.

They definitely need to build a stadium for the Revs closer into the city, they only need a 20k-25k seat stadium and that could certainly be done much closer to the city.

That said, that would change nothing for the World Cup, the minimum venue size for the World Cup is generally around 40,000.
