Massachusetts’ Supreme Judicial Court ruled that Boston’s $325 million White Stadium renovation, done in partnership with a women’s soccer team, complies with state law, ending a years-long lawsuit and allowing work to proceed to create a new hub for Boston Public Schools Athletics and serve as home to the NWSL team Boston Legacy FC.
A Boston judge denied a nonprofit organization's lawsuit to prevent the National Women's Soccer League franchise from using Franklin Park's White Stadium as its new home. The lawsuit aimed to stop the proposed privatization of the stadium and surrounding public parkland. The judge ruled in favor of the renovation project, stating that it would significantly upgrade the stadium without altering its identity as a Boston Public Schools athletic venue. While concerns about traffic and public input were acknowledged, the court emphasized the need for ongoing community engagement and investment in the stadium and park. The NWSL team is expected to start playing in Boston in 2026.
