It's good to see this space being used for something and I was impressed by the layout once you get through the gates. Large open space to walk around, food vendors and a big section of portable toilets which were very clean. Sound system was good and I was able to hear all the bands. There was a good view of the stage from plenty of spots in the field and some folks had blankets to sit on. There are several parking lots, dropping some cash to secured a spot was a good idea and driving there was kind of a hassle; it's not easy. Does have a dedicated T stop was is convenient. Overall I would go back for a solid line up.

I came here to watch Slightly Stoopid and overall had a good experience but there can definitely be some improvements like other reviews have said. The FOH tent is in a terrible spot, it completely blocks the line of sight to the stage. Drink and food selection wasn't bad but could use some love. Having more options than just beer would be nice. The food I tried was good, I tried three different places. I would come back to see a concert here and I'm sure they will improve the venue as they go.

It’s a great place for outdoor music, lots of space to roam around but it’s a smaller stage so it’s meant for smaller-medium size artists. I went to see Fisher and security was incredibly disorganized and rude. It leads a distasteful experience that makes me not wanna go back there despite how good it was as a DJ. Basically almost 2 hours to just get inside the venue. Management should’ve done a better job training the staff to better de-escalate the situation, knowing the kind of crowd that comes in.

I went to Fisher last night and it was probably the worst concert experience ive ever had. Getting into the venue was an absolute disaster. Line took almost 1.5 hours to get in. It was extremely disorganized. People were shoving, pushing eachother over, knocking down fences and security did nothing besides yell at people and refuse to answer any questions. The ticket scanners were so overwhelmed they were letting people in without scanning tickets. The staff had no control over the venue. The stage itself was nice, good lighting and visuals however the sound system was underwhelming. I was right in the middle pretty close and I could hear conversations around me more than I could hear the music. I assume this is due to a noise ordinance. Show was decent but the experience of getting in ruined the night, felt very unsafe and no one knew what was going on. This type of show would have been better off at Roadrunner or MGM.

Any amazing place to see a concert! Sausage guy was not half bad either. Highly suggest getting GA pit or else you won’t really be able to see the stage. We drove, so getting in and out was pretty easy but looked difficult for those trying to uber or take the train all at once.

Saw fisher here. Way too many people and security sucked. They didn’t even scan my ticket. Waited in a packed line for close to an hour just to get in. They were in way over their heads. The actual concert was pretty good but speakers were a little quiet.

I attended FISHER here on October 3rd, 2025. There’s a lot of pros and cons. First, the team / security that they hire is inexperienced, unhelpful, and doesn’t know crowd control. The disorganization with the lines was chaotic and traumatic. I have NEVER seen someone pass out in LINE until yesterday. The shoving, being shoulder to shoulder, people yelling, crying, suffocating, it should have never happened. If you can’t organize an event properly don’t do it! The line took over an hour to get through, the security crashed out and screamed at people multiple times. This was NOT okay. On the positive side, it’s a beautiful stage with a great screen and visuals. FISHER utilized the stage amazingly and threw an amazing set. There’s a lot of room on these grounds. However, if the lack of disorganization and crowd control is going to be reoccurring, I recommend FISHER to never perform here again.

Really fun outdoor venue. We saw Pulp here and loved it. Very unique site as it's right next to the BOS flight path. Be prepared for weather, though. It rained, but just added to the great vibe. Props to all the staff - from the parking folks to check-in and security. They were all great and welcoming.
