Forest Hills Stadium defiantly pledged its summer concert season was going forward as planned — despite the city saying it couldn’t issue the permits needed for shows at the iconic venue. The venue put neighbors on blast in a fiery social media post hours after The Post reported that the NYPD wouldn’t issue noise amplification permits for the 2025 season because the department was denied permission to close privately owned streets around the stadium by neighbors fed up with noise. “As happens every season, the vocal NIMBY [not in my backyard] minority of Forest Hills Gardens are attempting to roadblock yet another enjoyable season of music,” the stadium’s official X account posted on Sunday.
