QUOTABLE: The America’s Cup concert series

“I do understand it’s going to be an inconvenience. But I would’ve rather seen the neighborhood lobbying their mayor and supervisor for money to go from this inconvenience to tackle the gang warfare from happening on Broadway. I don’t think stopping these concerts is the answer.” – San Francisco Entertainment Commissioner Glendon Hyde

“The most musical city in America is San Francisco Two out of every 1,000 habitants are artists. The arts are incredibly important to San Francisco. It’s unique for San Francisco not to have an outdoor amphitheater.” – Matt Prieshoff, chief operating officer for Live Nation
