White Stadium cleared a big legal hurdle, paving the way for the City of Boston to move forward with renovations, after a judge sided with the city.

A Superior Court judge issued a ruling Wednesday afternoon saying that the renovation of White Stadium is not in violation of state laws. The order from Judge Matthew Nestor counts as a major victory for the City of Boston and the new professional women’s soccer team that hopes to begin playing in the renovated stadium next March.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu called the judge's ruling "a historic victory," while opponents are leaving open the possibility of appealing. The post ‘Victory’: Judge says city’s renovation of White Stadium in Franklin Park is legal appeared first on Boston.
