There's no crying or singing in baseball. How about a team that doesn't suck? How about that?

I would like to see a show there, but I heard the acoustics are terrible. But if I had to, I would like to see Aerosmith! Boston band for a Boston venue.

Fenway should be for baseball only.

Kind of wish I'd seen the Dropkick Murphys & Bosstones show there. Take a trip back to my high school days, and my first real concert (which was at City Hall Plaza, same lineup)

I'd like to see a symphony orchestra playing in the infield while a demolition crew tears down the place. Management has destroyed the franchise by signing entitled, uncaring players. This team lost its heart last September and are showing no signs of getting it back.

Carrie Underwood/Vince Gill singing How Great Thou Art would be something. Check them out on YouTube.

Andrea Boccelli. I've seen him in concert a couple of times but to see him under the stars at Fenway would be dreamy.

Musician throwing his own two cents in: Personally, I hate outdoor concerts because a large number of factors are out of your hands. My band performed in an outdoor venue once and it seemed that no matter what we did we just couldn't make it sound as full as it does indoors. Sound dissipates too quickly and Fenway is massive. I couldn't imagine it sounding good enough to be worth inflated Fenway costs.
