Nightmare. Gillette is bad enough. Just do Nickerson if availability is bad at Gillette. And don't charge STH for these games. Who the fuck is going to go to Pawtucket or Hartford?
Sources have told The Blazing Musket that Boston Legacy FC has explored playing games in RI and CT in 2026.
It’s believed that the need for an alternate venue stems in part from questions surrounding the availability of their primary home, Gillette Stadium, on certain dates.
