Mayor of Boston on Fenway Park concert cancellations
“We always want to make sure that we take measures to prevent as much as possible everything that could happen in terms of injury or things like that.

Asked about the role of the inspection services to decide to cancel the concerts, Wu explained that they are not necessary before the “very, very fine”.
