Mike Dee Quotations

In retrospect we probably could have started the game on time, but in fairness to our fans we didn't want them sitting around for an hour if the field wasn't ready.

The stench was awful. We took care of that.

Dave is confident that the field is playable and safe. Player safety is No. 1 among Dave's concerns.

Dave Mellor deserves a lot of credit. This isn't the sort of thing where you can just call Home Depot and put in an order. He had the sod on reserve and it was there when we put the order in.

We learned that not all concerts are created equal. We'll look at the schedule before and after the dates and we'll look at the size of the show.

We're very pleased with the way things are going. This has been everything we had hoped it would be.

We wanted to give ourselves the maximum amount of time. Dave's very confident that the integrity of the field is safe.

The radio business has been a changing business: you have satellite radio and you have digital radio coming on board. We're going to go into the process with open eyes and look to do something that's in the best interest of the Red Sox.

We expected there would be field damage. There has been for the last two shows. But we have no regrets. We just have to adjust. I think the stage for the Stones was larger and had to be put down sooner.
