The Krafts think the old Bayside Expo Center, now owned by UMass Boston, would make a great location for a Revolution stadium. And Shirley Leung, on the rebound from the Olympics, swoons.
Some may say I have never met a stadium I didn’t like. But I really like this one. What’s most exciting is the opportunity to build something different in a part of the city that could use an economic jolt. It’s not another strip mall, big-box retailer, or luxury condo tower — and that’s a good thing.
Bidding for the sprawling Olympics tore the city apart, but a Dorchester stadium could be the project that brings everyone together.

How about we do what should have been done at the seaport - mixed use residential living dining marina on a people scale - views and green space and real public acces to the water. And not the very disappointing glass canyon that the seaport has turned into. Totally no interest in a stadi on our precious waterfront.
Put soccer stadium at Globe

As the Globe steadily declines and they move into rental property, Kraft should buy the Globe site on nearby Morrissey Boulevard. They could make an exit off the Expressway and there is already rail access from the time when the Globe actually sold papers. Paper and ink was delivered by train. Any decision should be after the election. If Mr. Trump wins, many of the soccer fans will be deported as soccer has never been an American sport and has no following. They could rent out Joe Moakley Park and nobody would notice. I wouldn't trust Kraft in his business suit and sneakers, approaching 80, so Marty Walsh should nix any public money, even though he is desperate to save the unions.
