Red Sox 2018 concert season

March 8, 2018 by fenwaycivic

Dear Members:
On February 21st, the Boston Licensing Board granted the Boston Red Sox with a license for twelve (12) concert dates for the 2018 season. This decision is attached.

FCA has consistently requested that events at Fenway Park consider the needs of our community. We believe there should be a limit to the number of events, in order to ensure residents’ access to and enjoyment of their neighborhood, parks, and homes.

We also believe there are many issues, including traffic, noise, and parkland degradation that remain unaddressed in this decision. We are disappointed in the Licensing Board determination, and will be working with our elected representatives to continue advocating for what we believe is a reasonable request to have community needs and impacts reflected in licensing decisions.

Noise concerns
The Licensing Board stated that in 2017, only two complaints were made for noise during concerts. We ask that this year, residents who experience problems with noise during concert events report this to the City of Boston 311 line by calling 311 or using the 311 app, and to write to fenwaycivic@aol.com. We will be compiling a list of reports to submit to the Licensing Committee this fall.

Parking and Trash Cleanup
In the licensing determination, the Red Sox state that they will meet with representatives of any and all neighborhood groups who wish to review 1) the area covered by Project Place for post-concert cleanups and 2)traffic and parking issues. We ask that members submit their concerns about post-concert trash and parking issues associated with concert events.

Our position to the City and Licensing Board has been that we accept our role as residents of a vibrant community that houses a venerable ballpark; we ask that our voices also be heard as the uses and economics of stadiums change in a way that significantly impacts our quality of life.

As always, feel free to write us with your thoughts and concerns.
The Fenway Civic Association Board
