LiveNation Ampitheater for Riverside (KC)

[Greg S]

LiveNation is proposing a 15k Ampitheater for Riverside in KC:

Riverside planners are considering a proposal from Live Nation Entertainment to build a new amphitheater.

The Riverside Planning and Zoning Commission will meet Thursday night to vote on a 15,000-seat open-air amphitheater.

The project, which would be located near Interstate 635 and Horizons Parkway, would also include 15 ancillary building, including restrooms, food vendors, a box office and more.


Live Nation’s plan includes over 5,400 parking spaces, including room for VIP and ADA guests and rideshares.

Riverside city leaders are considering a proposal from Live Nation Entertainment to build a new 15,000-seat amphitheater.
Developers are asking Riverside to rezone the area from the current Planned Development zone to a revised Planned Development zone. Live Nation is also asking commissioners to approve a preliminary/final development plan.

The entertainment company, which formed after a 2010 merger of Live Nation and Ticketmaster, owns venues and manages ticket sales for live entertainment across the world.

The Riverside Planning and Zoning Commission is scheduled to meet at 6:30 p.m. Thursday. If approved, the proposal would still have to go before the city’s Board of Aldermen.

And construction begins. Can't believe how fast this came to fruition.

Now called Morton Ampitheater (sponsored). Here's a video of what it will look like when it opens this year. KC is on roll with amphitheaters. Azura (formerly Sandstone) just got a multi million dollar upgrade. Starlight in Swope Park which is smaller than these two is attempting to raise funds for a $40 million renovation.

Something like this would be perfect on the Gallup land where the soccer stadium was initially proposed.
