I mean, you probably do need to make plans if you’re not interested in being around for World Cup fever - people are still going to stay in Boston and the metro area, if only because of hotel capacity. But realistic they’ll do it because nobody really wants to be a tourist in Foxborough.

It could be great - generate a lot of tourist dollars for the city without us building (with public subsidies / funds) a new stadium, and with the worst of the traffic a) not being downtown and b) being someplace that regularly has terrible traffic due to sporting events.
