New renderings show updated design plans for White Stadium, the proposed new home of Boston's professional women's soccer team.
White Stadium was built in the 1940s but has been in a state of disrepair in recent years. Illustrations and video animations of a renovated and accessible White Stadium were presented by Boston Unity Soccer Partners at a design workshop meeting last week. Visuals show the park on game day as the design changes include feedback from previous meetings.
Located in Franklin Park, the stadium is set to be the home of a new professional women’s soccer team and for the use of Boston Public School students. Official plans for the stadium were filed with the Boston Planning & Development Agency last December, which are still under review. [NBC Boston]
Oklahoma University athletic director Joe Castiglione and university president Joseph Harroz Jr.’s goal for the future is to be proactive.
After several months of discussion regarding a potential new arena, the coalition of Norman leaders heavily involved in the creation of the proposed $1.2 billion University North Park entertainment district released the public’s first look at conceptual renderings Wednesday afternoon in the president’s conference room inside Evans Hall.
The images depict what would be a new $330 million, 8,000-seat capacity arena for both OU men's and women's basketball teams as well as women's gymnastics that would open in time for the 2027-28 seasons. The arena would be surrounded by retail shops, bars and a hotel. [The Oklahoman]
For months, LSU officials have said it would be premature to discuss a location for a $400 million arena they want to build on campus.
But their emails show one site appears to be the clear favorite.
Consultants, attorneys and LSU officials have focused on the site of the LSU Golf Course at Nicholson Drive and Gourrier Avenue as the potential home for the new arena. They’ve gone as far as running studies on how putting the arena there would affect traffic patterns, according to renderings and emails obtained by The Advocate | The Times-Picayune through a public records request.
