Utah Valley University in Orem will hold a groundbreaking ceremony for the new $20 million soccer stadium this weekend.
The stadium will feature state-of-the-art locker rooms, a team lounge, dedicated spaces for visiting teams and officials, an increased capacity of 3,000 spectators through 400 additional chairback seats and covered plaza seating, an MLS-style press box with broadcast capabilities, a new video board, and 10 luxury suites.
At Massachusetts Legislature’s Joint Committee hearing Tuesday, the New England Revolution pro soccer club unveiled the latest vision for a possible soccer-specific stadium in Boston area.
The hearing discussed the subject of Bill S.2692, a piece of legislation that would seek to have a parcel of land along the Everett waterfront removed from the Mystic River designated port area, allowing it to be developed for the potential construction of a stadium.
The site is currently a shuttered power plant and would need to be cleaned up first. The Kraft family, owners of the Revolution, has promised to pay for the cleanup process.
