God that field looks like garbage. Have they had summer concerts on the field in the past, or am I just not remembering them?
It’s worse than I ever remember it being in the past.
I don’t understand the attraction of MMP as a concert venue. There are countless other places in the area where a concert would be better served. It’s puzzling.
