"Judge Clears the Way for White Stadium Renovation in Boston"

A Boston judge denied a nonprofit organization's lawsuit to prevent the National Women's Soccer League franchise from using Franklin Park's White Stadium as its new home. The lawsuit aimed to stop the proposed privatization of the stadium and surrounding public parkland. The judge ruled in favor of the renovation project, stating that it would significantly upgrade the stadium without altering its identity as a Boston Public Schools athletic venue. While concerns about traffic and public input were acknowledged, the court emphasized the need for ongoing community engagement and investment in the stadium and park. The NWSL team is expected to start playing in Boston in 2026.
