Boston University (BU) owns and operates Nickerson Field, a sports complex purchased by the University in 1953 and has been used to host various BU sports teams over the last six decades. The field is located to the west of the campus and will begin hosting a minor league baseball franchise.

The Project Management team will identify, organize, plan and implement a communications plan for this season to ensure the season goes accordingly. Stakeholders, risk mitigation and analysis, consideration of elements, security and management will be identified and evaluated.

Weather

According to the sheet above, we think that we should be more careful about the snow from December to March. Most of the snow are in this period so we have to cooperate with BUPD and Boston police office to guarantee the road clear. In addition, we can cooperate with Ambulance emergency center to make sure the medical rescue is prepared because the cold weather and wet slippery road may cause people get injured.
