New England will get a new stadium eventually.  There is no good place to put it.  Right now, 90% of the fan base is suburban families, largely from the Boston suburbs along 128 and 495 and from Rhode Island.  Sure, put it in Revere where exactly zero of those existing season ticket holders will travel for a game, and the local population has little money.

There are few solutions, but essentially, they can't put the stadium in Boston (no space and too expensive) and certainly not east of Boston, where the whole fan base has to travel through the city.   If they are smart, they will put it in Providence, or on the site of McCoy stadium in Pawtucket, once the Pawsox move to Worcester.  It would be surrounded by recent immigrants who love soccer, and accessible by car for suburbanites.

Expansion at this pace needs to lead to a relegation system.  Good luck with that.  And as for stadiums, the Crew abandoning one of the first soccer specific stadiums in MLA...yeah, that is going to encourage more to be built.
