I don't care that it is Livenation even though I have had reservations in the past. For Crowder, I know this may not be popular but please get him out of there. His time is up. Go design something from a paying customer that will change Raleigh instead of trying to change Raleigh one vote at a time or bandstanding at the City council meetings. JMHOs Build it !!!

Not just for Boylan Heights but for downtown proper, Shaw, and so forth. If it's possible to design it in a way that most noise goes south, that would be best. As far as competition to Koka Booth, it's possible. When thinking of a cool place to hear live music, downtown Raleigh--with its bars and restaurants in walking distance--will trump bland car-oriented suburbia any day.

That will be studied in the preliminary design plan."

This is great news that the project is moving forward. It's just another puzzle piece to a vibrant downtown! As for Boylan Heights, it would amaze me if they tried to block it since the live next door to a maximum security prison and an active railroad track. I am anxious to see the amphiteater get built.

They will find success with food and wine events, symphony events, outdoor movies, etc. Koka Booth has been adversely effected by the City of Cary…the number of concerts there has dwindled as of late, and all of them are at low volume.

The city was made an offer it couldn't refuse. To go without LiveNation would mean that this amphitheater would be shut out of getting the concerts we actually want to see.
