Today's Boston Globe, reports with some envy how the MLS team Minnesota United opened a soccer-specific stadium in by a rail line St. Paul not quite two months ago, while the New England Revolution is stuck at the New England Patriots' stadium out in Foxboro.
The Globe notes that smaller soccer-only venues in downtowns have recently opened in Orlando, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C while others are in the works in Cincinnati, Nashville, and Austin.
I recall how the Philadelphia Atoms of the old North American Soccer League played at Veterans Stadium, the multi-purpose facility that housed the Eagles and the Phillies. The current MLS team, the Union, plays in a vey nice soccer-only stadium, but it's out of the way in Chester, a difficult to reach decrepit place south of Philadelphia.
