Description: increasing safety issues at Boston calling every year due to layout not accommodating increased attendance. Specifically: - the entrance into the Porta potty village is a siphon and there is extreme crowd crush there at certain times of the day. People pressed chest to back unable to move kind of crush. - another siphon between red and green stages and large artists playing back to back at each one makes for another crowd rush & crush situation. - only one location for free water means lines are often an hour+ long in direct sunlight. I’ve seen more people pass out at this festival than any other concert I’ve been to and it’s reasonable to believe this is due in part to the lack of access to water. This festival is a wonderful Boston tradition but if there are not changes to the layout and crowd control I suspect we will be seeing a Travis Scott Astroworld type tragedy in coming years. Even if this is the only complaint you receive about this, this opinion was shared by many I spoke to there and reflected by many online as well. | Case (SR) Type: [Tourism, Sports, and Entertainment] Referred To: [TOURISM, SPORTS, AND ENTERTAINMENT]
