MGM Park has events lined up into next year but some changes could be coming for how late events can last and how loud they can be.

A recent Flo Rida concert reportedly went well into the night. The City of Biloxi is responding to the complaints by looking at how they can make sure they don’t impose on residents in the area.

“What we are doing is drafting a policy that will govern the events going on over at the stadium,” said Biloxi spokesman Vincent Creel. The tourist aspect is something the city hopes residents can be understanding of

. “All along we said this is not just a baseball stadium, this is an entertainment venue. It’s designed to attract people to our downtown area,” said Creel. The city said the policy it’s drafting will include a curfew and limits on decibel levels but it will have flexibility for some events such as baseball, where games can go overtime.
