Boston Stadium Battle Flares In Legislature Debate
In Greater Boston the fight over a new pro sports stadium heats up as Sen. James A. Kelly Jr. pushes a plan to have the state buy and lease a site to a developer with eventual cost recovery. Opponents led by Rep. James R. Nolen caution against public financing. The plan envisions a $30 million stadium near Route 128 and the turnpike, with a 30 year lease and eventual state repayment, while Gov. Volpe’s position remains a potential influence as the Senate negotiates and swaps to a majority vote.

Boston Stadium Bill Faces Senate Hurdles In Patriots Fight
Governor backed plan by Turnpike Authority to build a stadium for the Boston Patriots faces stiff Senate opposition after a House passage with a slim margin. Critics call provisions liberal and deride the sales push while Speaker Robert H. Quinn contends with likely tougher votes this session. The push traces to 1960 and aims to meet a 50,000-seat minimum by the early 1970s for team retention. Mt. Andre's
