"Sandoval - who has been GM for the Xfinity Center for five years and oversees a seasonal staff of more than 800 people including 26 departmental managers - says it's purely coincidental that the renovations, which have been in the planning stages for years, will align with the venue's 40th anniversary. "There's so many different elements that go into a project of this size," he said via video call. "It's taken a couple of years to bring everything to market, so to speak, and get everything prepared to be able to accomplish this in the off-season.""
"The renovations are already underway, starting almost immediately as country singer Lainey Wilson closed out the 2025 season on Oct. 11. ("We had our last show on a Saturday and work started that next Monday," said Sandoval.) The updates aim to cover both the physical and sonic experience of concertgoing. Sandoval said that anyone who's been to the Xfinity Center in the past will notice the work that's been done: "The look and the feel of the venue inside the seating area is going to change significantly.""
The Xfinity Center in Mansfield will undergo one of the largest off-season renovations in its history, targeting both physical and sonic aspects of concertgoing. Planning for the project took years and was scheduled to begin immediately after the final 2025 show on Oct. 11. The venue's overall footprint and 19,900 capacity will remain unchanged while seating will be completely restructured to allow flexible configurations and variable general-admission pit sizes. The project aligns with the facility's 40th anniversary but was planned independently. Seasonal operations involve more than 800 staff and 26 departmental managers led by general manager Jason Sandoval.
