This article is about a structure that was never built. Even its mid-1990s proposal is unclear in its significance, what with the completion of the Gillette Stadium in 2000. A recent prod attempt failed with the rationale "there is more data out there on how this would have changed the neighborhood and supposedly improved the region", which I doubt. More importantly, that sort of information would be much too speculative. — Æµ§œš¹  [ãːɱ ˈfɹ̠ˤʷɪ̃ə̃nlɪ] 01:15, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep Links such as this, this, and this (although there are some overlaps with the first one) show that there is sufficient coverage out there for the planned facility. Additionally, many of the links there talk about the plans for the stadium and why it failed, with some discussion even talking about the partnership between public and private enterprise. To say that this is of unclear significance is to ignore the discussions on where this went wrong, and what could be done in the future to make sure that this never happened again, as I doubt that an unnotable facility would have this level of discussion centered around it.
