The old Taylor field site makes absolutely no sense. It’s a disadvantaged residential community and an arena there would not help it nor would it be attractive to potential event-goers.

It also doesn’t make sense to build another arena where one already exists.

It also doesn’t make sense to have the arena away from a density of restaurants and pubs. It might make sense to walk from Mosaic Stadium for after-game activities after football games on mostly warm-weather games. It is not the case for Pats games, most of which are in winter.

If we want to improve the night life of the downtown, we need entertainment options that bring people there like an arena would.
