Bilello emphasized the Revolution’s continued cooperation with both Everett and Boston officials and reinforced the team’s desire to reach a fair and productive agreement. “I can only describe the tenor and tone of those meetings to be cooperative and cordial, so you can understand why it’s upset8 Norwood St. Everett (617) 387-9810 Open Tues. - Sat. at 4:00 PM Closed Sun. & Mon.

The $1 billion privately funded project would transform the long-vacant Mystic site into a 25,000-seat stadium surrounded by new transit infrastructure, community green space and a four-acre waterfront park open to the public.
