A while back (though for the life of me I can't remember where) I read that the city of Boston considered building a domed stadium in the late 1960s.
Apparently with the Patriots looking for a permanent home, the city made an offer to all four pro teams - the Pats, the Sox, the Celtics and the Bruins. The city would build a dome to house all four of them - but ONLY if all four agreed to play there. The deal fell apart because the Bruins refused, as they were getting a better cut of concession revenues where they were playing than they would have at the new place.
Has anyone else ever heard of this?
