The Kraft Group is proposing a $500 million soccer stadium in Everett, MA for the New England Revolution.

The proposed site for the 25,000-seat stadium is a 43.11-acre area by the Mystic River, previously occupied by a power plant.

Plans include a waterfront park and clean energy initiatives alongside the stadium construction.

State legislation is being considered to reclassify the land to enable the stadium's development.

Local residents, environmentalists, and advocates for Latino immigrants have expressed opposition to the project.

Concerns center around traffic, environmental impact, and inadequate parking and public transit arrangements.

Boston officials stress the importance of city involvement in planning to mitigate potential traffic and infrastructure issues.

While facing some opposition, the stadium project has garnered support from influential lawmakers and leaders.
