The Boston Red Sox are not planning on a new stadium in the near and possibly the far future, but the same does not hold true for the possibility of a new park for the Triple-A franchise – the Pawtucket Red Sox. The issue itself has resonated since 2006 with various proposals put forward that either gained or lost traction.
The current stadium – McCoy – is archaic and dates back to 1938. The stadium itself has been renovated and expanded several times to meet both demand and International League requirements. Previous owner Ben Mondor had diligently made efforts to maintain the historical integrity of the park, but the Mondor family has since sold the team to a group headed by former Red Sox executive Larry Lucchino.
