The Polo Field at Golden Gate Park is being readied for another major concert event one week after Outside Lands.
SAN FRANCISCO -- The Outside Lands music festival ended a week ago but the Polo Field at Golden Gate Park is still blocked off to the public as the site is readied for another major concert event. Some neighbors are not thrilled about a second straight weekend of loud music and heavy traffic.The back-to-back concerts, put on by Another Planet Entertainment, make a lot of sense logistically.
'Commissioner Kat Anderson with San Francisco Recreation and Parks said Outside Lands has generated roughly $1 billion in economic activity since 2008 and this inaugural Golden Gate Park Concerts alone will add an estimated $1.4 million. Anderson insists their partners with Another Planet Entertainment have taken measures to alleviate the impact on neighbors.'We did everything we can short of not having the concert which I think would be a mistake,' Anderson said.
