Also, will you be going to Money in the Bank? It's nice to see WWE spread around their big shows. Clash at the Castle in Wales last year. Elimination Chamber in Montreal last month. They're going Backlash in Puerto Rico. Money in the Bank in London.

There's a chance that Banners Bar, at the TD Garden, will have a watch party. A guy named James Stewart, who works at the Sports Hub (a sports talk radio station) has hosted watch parties for WWE events there in the past. Considering this is far and away the biggest wrestling event in the world, I am sure he will be organizing something for at least one of the nights.

It's remarkable how the MBTA, after all of these years, have never been able to fully waterproof all of their underground stations. It's almost as if they want them to be a steady mess and in need of constant repair. Shades of how they are unable to use more durable asphalt when paving the roads in this area.

Newton is an excellent town. A great place to raise a family that will allow for a very reasonable commute to Longwood. Yes, it is expensive. But then again, any town that has top tier schools, parks and public services will be.

I mean, poor mass transit hasn't stopped hundreds of thousands of Europeans from coming to the US to live. I think they'll manage getting to a soccer game (if they can even get tickets) via car. Also, Mexicans, Brazilians, Argentinians and even Australians tend to travel better than a lot of European countries to World Cups.

Where is Kraft going to build a 65-70k seat stadium that is close to Boston? There were talks 25 years ago or so to build in South Boston and that got shot down. Besides, do we really want a football stadium taking up precious land in Boston, which will need plenty of parking? Kraft isn't holding anyone hostage.

It's evident you haven't been to sporting events at some of the other stadiums being chosen. The area surrounding Gillette is a lot better than the area surrounding NRG Stadium, Levis Stadium, Arrowhead, Sofi, and Hard Rock. Thanks the the NFL, no country on Earth exceeds, matches, or comes close to the stadiums we have in the US. 2026 is going to be the most attended World Cup ever. Almost all of the stadiums lack good transit. It won't matter. All of the games will sellout. Overseas fans will come in droves and stay with their relatives or friends. This will be a lot different than a typical World Cup.

You're assuming that it will be geared towards people who want to drink for hours and get drunk. There are plenty of people who would like to be able to go to a bar at say 11:45 pm, and sit there for a couple of hours having 1-2 good drinks and socialize - not getting drunk. The way Boston is right now, you really cannot do that.
