The baseball diamond at the Watertown Fairgrounds may not be home to concerts for much longer.

A field near the arena could be the site for big music acts.

"It will hold, I'm guessing, at least 7,000 or 8,000 people, so we're looking at that as a location," said Joe Rich of the Disabled Persons Action Organization, which holds concerts to raise money for its group.

Watertown's proposed alcohol sales policy calls for the venue change.

The move stems from last summer when the band, the Tragically Hip, played at the baseball diamond.

Significant damage was caused to the field.

Under the proposal, concert goers will still be able to buy beer.

But, there will be changes for promoters putting on the concert.

Anyone making money on alcohol sales will have to be on the permit.

The city, which will not be on the permit, will not be collecting 10 percent of concession sales like it did in the past.

"Had the city continued with their policy that they've been running with, with the 10 percent, they (city of Watertown) would have had to been listed also," said Paul Simmons of Amp Entertainment.

So while some people are happy the city is going to eliminate collecting 10 percent of all concert proceeds, others are worried that the city may try to make up for that loss with increased fees.

"We have to take a long hard look at what those fees are going to be and then make a decision based on that," said Rich.

What's not clear yet is how any increased or new fee could affect the price of a beer at concerts.
