Widett Circle is a locale in Boston, Massachusetts that has long been used as a wholesale food market, but which has been proposed for several redevelopment projects. It is located between a bend in Interstate 93 and the MBTA rail yards, near the Massachusetts Avenue connector to I-93.

Potential uses for the site include:

  • an additional rail layover for the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA)
  • a trash recycling and transfer facility
  • a new 28,000 seat stadium for the New England Revolution soccer team, though the team's owners are reportedly focusing on a parcel just north of the circle.
  • a temporary 60,000 seat Olympic Stadium for the 2024 Summer Olympics. See Boston bid for the 2024 Summer Olympics

    • The current occupants have expressed concern that eminent domain proceedings might be used to take their businesses for other uses.
