"New England Revolution Facing Increased Scrutiny Over Planned Everett Stadium"
Everett Stadium Negotiations Expand to Neighboring Cities
The New England Revolution's plans to build a new soccer-specific stadium in Everett, Massachusetts have drawn increased attention from local leaders in nearby cities. A coalition of officials from Revere, Medford, Malden, and Chelsea have joined together to call for "greater collaboration and transparency" from the Revolution regarding the proposed stadium.
The group argues that a project of this scale will have regional implications that extend beyond Everett's borders. They are seeking to be "connected in the planning process" to ensure the stadium benefits the entire area. A Revolution spokesperson acknowledged the neighboring cities' concerns, stating they would be included in discussions "at the appropriate time."
Revolution II Making Playoff Push
While the first team's stadium plans continue to generate headlines, the Revolution's developmental squad, Revolution II, is gearing up for a playoff run of their own. The team clinched a postseason berth for just the second time in franchise history, thanks in large part to a record-breaking season from midfielder Marcos Dias.
Dias set a new single-season assist record in MLS NEXT Pro with 13 helpers, leading the league. His playmaking prowess has been a driving force behind Revolution II's success this year. The team will now host the Chicago Fire II in the Eastern Conference Quarterfinal as they look to make a deep playoff push.
Matt Turner Returns to MLS After World Cup
The Revolution's pipeline to the U.S. Men's National Team continues, as goalkeeper Matt Turner recently rejoined the club after starring at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Turner, who was the starting keeper for the USMNT, is eager to get back on the field with New England as the team prepares to co-host the 2026 World Cup.
"As soon as the World Cup ended, I was like, 'Oh my god, I have to get back. I got a taste of that, and I want more,'" Turner said. The 31-year-old's remarkable rise from the Revolution to the global stage has inspired him to keep pushing towards future international tournaments.
