Starting next year, another weekend of August concerts will be held at the Polo Field in Golden Gate Park following the Outside Lands Music Festival if the San Francisco Board of Supervisors green-lights the proposal in September.
A proposal to host a series of ticketed concerts in the Golden Gate Park Polo Fields will go before the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in September following an initial agreement reached today between the Recreation and Park Department, Another Planet Entertainment (APE) and District 1 Supervisor Connie Chan.
Since the first concert isn’t projected to take place until after the 2024 Outside Lands, what’s the hurry? Why not put off the vote for a month and follow up on some of the concerns raised? People who depend on the Polo Fields cycling track for exercise and relaxation are locked out for 4-5 weeks if the post-Outside Lands concert is approved.
The Outside Lands music festival might spawn a mini-festival in Golden Gate Park; the Recreation and Park Commission unanimously approved a permit for Another Planet Entertainment (APE) to host concerts there the following weekend.
Anyone using or walking past the Polo Field in Golden Gate Park recently has probably noticed that the west end of the field is now encased in a huge slab of concrete.

Are you aware that the promoters and owners of Outside Lands (I assume) have somehow convinced the city of San Francisco to pour a permanent concrete slab on a huge portion of the western end of the Polo Field in Golden Gate Park?

It is just plain wrong to fence off an area of Golden Gate Park for three weeks for the benefit of a for-profit corporation even if some benefits accrue to the city.
In April 1919, the San Francisco Board of Education passed a resolution to name the first school slated for construction after the signing of the Armistice in honor of the San Franciscans who served. The thoroughly modern Argonne School was built quickly by the Board of Public Works.
