Dozens of people braved the freezing cold Wednesday to protest at the steps of Franklin Park's White Stadium in Boston. "This is community, and no one listens," said Renee Welch, who was moved to tears as she spoke.

Mayor Wu's plan to remake White Stadium through a partnership with a pro women's soccer team could play a pivotal role in the mayoral race.

An opposition group said it plans to demonstrate against the ongoing demolition Wednesday and mayoral candidate Josh Kraft is using the issue to attack Mayor Michelle Wu.
