I thought it sucked when the New York Diamond League meet moved to Morocco, even if it was one of the weaker Diamond League meets.
However, adidas is doing a "street meet" in Boston with some big names - Willis, Suhr, Defar, and Johan Blake and have it on NBCSN-
The big names are just adidas athletes so I wonder how deep the events will actually be.
However, what sounds cool to me is doing part of it on Charles Street between the Common and Public Garden. It sounds like the "street" part may just be sprints and pole vault since 400m and up will be in Somerville the night before.
Maybe it will get some people to come out at watch track. Or maybe there will just be a bunch of people mad because traffic will be blocked. I like them trying to shake things up anyway.
