Current Use
What is the current use of the land/stadium?
The five principal parcels are used as follows:
City of Boston uses 17.8 acres for public works storage,
a parking garage salt shed and a tow lot.
Commonwealth of Massachusetts uses 2.0 acres
for maintenance; the MBTA uses 23.1 acres for bus
maintenance, fueling and washing and for train set
maintenance; .85 acre controlled by Commonwealth of
Massachusetts Highways is unused.
New Boston Food Market uses 20 acres for a wholesale
food distribution facility. The New Boston Food
Market is a cooperative, and the facility is currently
underutilized and for sale.
ART Mortgage Borrower controls 4.7 acres which
houses a cold storage facility related to the New
Boston Food Market.
National Railroad Passenger controls a segment of rail
bed totaling 1.4 acres.
Access for Use
What access for use has been negotiated?
Boston 2024 has had detailed discussions with
senior representatives of the Commonwealth,
the MBTA, Amtrak and the City of Boston about
relocation of existing facilities and overbuild of
existing rail lines. Discussions have been positive
with all involved agencies who are supportive of
the planning initiatives.

Stadium to OC
When would the stadium be handed over to the organizing
committee?
We anticipate that the stadium will be complete
and available to the Organizing Committee
approximately 6 months before commencement of
the 2024 Olympic Games.
Returned to Owner
When would the stadium be handed back to the owner/tenant?
Not applicable. Boston 2024 proposes new,
temporary stadium construction.
Risks of Agreement
What risks of agreement with owners or partners and or
delivery should be considered for the stadium?
Several agreements with current land owners must
be achieved to complete land assembly:
Relocation strategies for existing facilities controlled
by the City of Boston, Commonwealth of Massachusetts
and the MBTA must be planned and implemented.
Control of privately held parcels must be completed.
In addition, entitlements for post-Games use must
be implemented.
2.2 LEGACY

2.3 FINANCIALS
Contribution of Owner
What contribution will the owner/tenant make toward
construction?
The stadium site will be controlled by a public
building authority or agency, either existing or to
be formed. Acquisition and improvements will be
financed by the issuance of bonds supported by
value creation for private development - the first
phase of which will be initiated before construction
of the Olympic Stadium.
Cost for Use
What are the costs for use of the stadium?
Boston 2024 proposes new construction for the
Olympic Stadium; costs for use of the stadium and
operational costs will be determined in the context
of financing and ownership.

2.4 DESIGN
Seating Capacity
What is the proposed seating capacity for Games use?
The proposed seating capacity for the Olympic
Games is 60,000.
Existing Utility Infrastructure
What existing utility infrastructure would serve the stadium?
The proposed stadium location is in an area of the
city well served by infrastructure. The areas to the
west and east of the site are densely developed and
supported by regional utility systems that traverse
portions of the site or are located in public corridors
at the perimeter of the site.
Water: Multiple water systems are available on
Frontage Road to the west of the site and Dorchester
Avenue to the east of the site. As many as five 12-inch
looped water systems exist in immediate proximity
to the site. These systems are cross-connected to
the north and south of the site increasing system
redundancy and reliability in the case of a break on
any of the subject segments. The proposed stadium is
anticipated to require approximately 170,000 gallons
of water per day. Based on discussions with the Boston
Water and Sewer Commission (BWSC), this can be
accommodated via the existing infrastructure.
Sanitary Sewer: Sanitary sewer capacity in the
proposed stadium location is also robust. The site is
bordered by two sanitary collectors that are directed to
the main sanitary tunnel between the city and the Deer
Island Regional Treatment Facility. Over the last decade,
the BWSC has undertaken a program of separating
sewerage and drainage in the areas to the south of
the city center. In parallel, the Massachusetts Water
Resources Authority (MWRA) has upgraded the regional
collection system. These improvements have resulted in
increased system capacity. BWSC indicates that capacity
exists for the 170,000 gallons per day of anticipated
wastewater flow related to the stadium venue.
Telecom/Data: Frontage Road and Dorchester Avenue,
immediately proximate to the site, include regional
data loops that connect to long haul fiber via local
network switches in Boston.

Construction Timeline:

12 - 18 months
Anticipated Hurdles:
We will pursue omnibus state legislation to coordinate
permitting at the local and state levels. This legislation will
carefully consider land use, zoning, transportation, historic
preservation, cultural celebration, environmental protection
and economic benefits to ensure the successful implementation
and integration of Games infrastructure. No specific permitting
hurdles are anticipated.

Accessibility Options:
The Olympic Stadium is conveniently located at Midtown within
the Waterfront Cluster, a short distance from the Athletes
Village and the proposed IBC/MPC. This site will be served by
the Olympic Route Network via the I-93 Frontage Roads and the
South Boston Bypass Road. This site is within walking distance of
the Red Line, and the Worcester/Framingham, Needham, Franklin,
Fairmount, Providence/Stoughton, Middleborough/Lakeville,
Kingston/Plymouth, and Greenbush Commuter Rail Lines,
Amtraks Northeast Corridor and the Silver Line.

Utility Infrastructure
What existing utility infrastructure would serve the Athletes
Village?
Water: Multiple 12 water loops are available in close
proximity to the site on Morrissey Boulevard and
along Mount Vernon Street. Additional water mains
are available on Dorchester Avenue in close proximity
to the JFK/UMass MBTA station. The design will
need to ensure that systems are cross-connected to
maximize redundancy and capacity for domestic and
fire use. Initial estimates put water demand at about 1
million gallons per day for the Athletes Village. BWSC
has indicated that this capacity exists in the current
distribution system.
Sanitary Sewer: Sanitary sewer facilities are available
on Morrissey Boulevard which runs through the site
and along the north edge of the Bayside area where
the MWRA Columbus Park Connector is located.
The Columbus Park Connector is the primary sewer
collector for this portion of Boston and directs flow
to the Columbus Park Headworks, which is the last
stop before the Deer Island Wastewater Treatment

3.2 LEGACY
Post-Games Use
What is the planned post-Games use?
The Athletes Village will revitalize Columbia
Point and create a vibrant, transit-oriented, mixeduse waterfront district. The master planned
redevelopment of the site will unlock transportation
barriers created by Kosciuszko Circle by reorganizing
the infrastructure and linking the surrounding
neighborhoods including Dorchester, Harbor Point,
the University of Massachusetts Boston campus and
the proposed Village to each other and to Carson
Beach and Joe Moakley Park. The proposed Athletes
Plaza will become a waterfront retail destination
for the entire City of Boston. Joe Moakley Park, one
of Bostons largest public spaces, will be vastly
improved as adjacent neighborhoods will enjoy
access to the sports complex and improved athletic
fields. Increased capacity at JFK/UMass MBTA station
will improve access to the district.

Proposed Location
Where is the proposed location?
Both the International Broadcast Center and the
Main Press Center will be located in the heart
of the South Boston Waterfront approximately
2 miles from the Athletes Village. The proposed
buildings will be adjacent to the Boston
Convention and Exhibition Center, which will
contain four competition venues hosting six
sports. With a close proximity to the Convention
Center hotels this location provides members
of the media with first class accommodations
just steps from the IBC and MPC. The entire
venue is 27 acres including areas for ceremonies,
broadcast, operations and transportation.

Anticipated Hurdles:
We will pursue omnibus state legislation to coordinate
permitting at the local and state levels. This legislation will
carefully consider land use, zoning, transportation, historic
preservation, cultural celebration, environmental protection and
economic benefits to ensure the successful implementation and
integration of Games infrastructure. Land control is an important
consideration for this site; we are working closely with the
owners to reach a mutually beneficial arrangement.
