also, one of the ongoing White Stadium complaints has been that it's not on the T BUT, the walk from Orange Line to White Stadium is going to be 0.2 miles SHORTER than the walk from Orange Line to future Everett Revs stadium using this new bridge (tried to measure T-turnstile-to-stadium-gate here)

Google Map screenshot of the future path of the Assembly-to-Everett pedestrian bridge along with the future site of the Revolution soccer stadium, showing that the distance will be 4800 ft, or 0.9 mi

Google Maps screenshot showing the walking route from Green St station on the T, up Glen Rd to Sigourney St and to White Stadium, measuring 0.7 mi

#nicar26 I think it’s been 10 years or so since my first NICAR, so it’s appropriate that my hotel bar DJ is playing Chance the Rapper rn. very thankful for everything I’ve learned and everyone I’ve met then and now and, on average, every other year between. 🫡

I don’t think Celtics “city jerseys” should exist, but if they must, they should do one patterned after the faux-stained glass drop ceiling at Sullivans Tap
