I didn’t know that either.... I had been pulling for Worcester for selfish reasons in that it puts the team a LOT closer to me, but had assumed any potential sites would be around WPI that has a lot more space and plenty of buildable lots. Kelley Sq though? If I have to drive through Kelley Sq then it may not make for an easier drive than Pawtucket because it is easily the worst intersection I’ve been in too. I mean, who designed this thing:
I get it, it ticks off a bunch of boxes; commuter rail and highway accessible (and the Worcester line runs through the Yawkey stop so they could run day/night doubleheader WooSox/Red Sox promotions), local businesses, etc but there’s no damn space to really do anything there besides the lot itself (the empty Wyman-Gordon lot). Of course, maybe a ballpark is the push they need to fix this monstrocity.
