Blame Game
What factor is most to blame for the failure of Steve Wynn's Foxborough casino plan?

  • Bad PR - the whole idea was pitched in the worst way.
  • Poor location - Despite the big stadium, Foxborough is a small town. A casino never made sense.
  • Steve Wynn himself - he never seemed to be able to connect to voters.
  • Robert Kraft - He stepped over the line and abused his relationship with the town.
  • The design - the casino looked like some gaudy mountain lodge. Yuck.
  • All of the above.
  • None of the above.
