It's also completely insane that the park doesn't have a door capable of allowing in the equipment necessary for concerts (making the stadium look more like Fenway was prioritized over this functionality). Concerts were supposed to be another source of revenue.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe trucks can pull around the back, right? There appears to be an entrance to the field (where the grounds crew keeps their tractor/supplies/etc.) as well..

The Telegram had a story about the lack of concerts: here's the story.
The center field door is only 12' high, which is a foot shorter than what's needed to fit a truck through, so any touring group is going to have to unload all of their stuff outside of the wall and carry it through or lift it over with a crane like they do at Fenway (which is obviously not going to make sense cost- or effort-wise for any artist that would be considering playing in the stadium).

Is that why there's no concerts there? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard! If central Mass needed one thing to promote entertainment, it should have been an outdoor music venue. All our venues either suck or are tiny, and I don't think there's any major outdoor venues in the entire county.
