The one nice part of the wasteland plaza is that it can hold large outdoor exhibitions in a way that no other space in downtown area can.

Inside the NBA was held live there recently, Boston Calling (the only largish music festival in the area) started there.

There’s obviously no massive outdoor parking lot in downtown Boston, and it would be a shame to have packed crowds trample over the common.

Although Commonwealth Shakespeare has performances on the Common every summer and there's a fairly large underground parking garage there.
