The Boston Breakers will call Dilboy Stadium home in 2012.<\/p><\/div>\n

The Boston Breakers will call Dilboy Stadium in Somerville, Mass. their home this season, the team announced on Monday.<\/p>\n

The 2,500 seat stadium, which features a synthetic turf field, underwent a $7.7 million renovation in 2006 and hosts the Suffolk University soccer teams.<\/p>\n

“We are very excited to be playing at Dilboy Stadium,” Breakers Associate General Manager Lee Billiard said in a statement. “We spent some time looking at facilities that would be at the high standards we require, but also a stadium which will cater to our fans and provide a great game day atmosphere.”<\/p>\n

With Somerville sitting only five miles away from the Breakers’ previous home – Harvard Stadium in Allston –
\nDilboy Stadium seemed a natural fit for the squad, especially after the team routinely led WPS in home attendance during its three years in the league.<\/p>\n

And with its updated facilities, the move made sense for all parties involved – including the city.<\/p>\n

“Somerville is a vibrant, young, and diverse city with a wonderful youth soccer program, and I know that the Breakers will be given a warm welcome by our entire community,” Somerville Mayor Joseph A. Curtatone said in a statment. “We are eager to work with both players and management as we approach the start of a new season, and we look forward to having the Breakers become part of the Somerville success story.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Breakers are expected to release its 2012 schedule this week.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Billiard expressed enthusiasm toward upcoming season now that the team has a place to call home for its first season in the WPSL Elite League.<\/p>\n

“Dilboy Stadium is a great facility,” Billiard said. “And we are eager to get going and see the stands full of Breakers fans.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
