Revolution Investor/Operator Jonathan Kraft said the “final step" toward long-term stability in the Boston market is to build an urban venue. Kraft, appearing on WBZ-FM's "Zolak & Bertrand," said, "We sound like a broken record, but we really have been working very diligently on it.” Kraft said Boston Mayor Marty Walsh wants to get a venue built and “hopefully, this is something that we can accomplish in his second term,” which runs through '21. Kraft: “When we have a soccer-specific venue in a city like Boston that’s both so sports crazy, but with a young millennial population who love and understand this game, you’re going to see the energy and excitement level rival any of the other cities.” Kraft: “I know people think it’s just talk when we say that. We don’t get into details, because we’ll get into details when we have something to announce. People aren’t interested in hearing anything other than, ‘We are working on it.'" Kraft also noted the team is "literally weeks away from breaking ground on a brand-new, stand-alone training facility” (“Zolak & Bertrand,” WBZ-FM, 7/18).
