What happened

The Worcester Ballpark Commission asked Polar Park staff for a written report explaining why the stadium has not implemented its original promise to let the public use the concourse for activities like lunchtime walks. Commissioners also raised concerns about weak outreach to outside groups on non-event days and questioned why promised financial and lease-monitoring reports have not been delivered. No votes were taken on any substantive matters; only the prior meeting's minutes and the motion to adjourn received roll-call votes.
