The new 8,000-seat amphitheater , which opened in August with three nights of sold-out shows by the pop rock band OneRepublic, offered about 20 concerts throughout the summer and fall by bands in an array of genres, including rock, pop, country, contemporary Christian and reggae.
After receiving hundreds of complaints from nearby residents about the noise level of concerts, the amphitheater’s owner, JW Roth, is now working with the city on noise-mitigation efforts.
