Neighborhood advocates are alleging in a lawsuit that the City of Boston is violating the state constitution in its quest to renovate White Stadium in Franklin Park and make it the home for a National Women's Soccer League team.
There may be good arguments against the project – traffic and parking, certainly – but arguing that letting the soccer team use the stadium is equivalent to selling off public land to private ownership seems like such a stretch that it undermines their whole position. They’re not getting exclusive use, and they’re helping pay for the renovation.
