COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul 8, 2026--

The article, written by Wendy Pearl, surveys the national landscape of new and redeveloped amphitheaters and identifies VENU as a company setting a new standard for the category. The piece notes that VENU's current slate of five active projects represents approximately $1.5 billion in development, spanning its flagship award-winning Ford Amphitheater in Colorado Springs, Regent Bank Amphitheater in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, Sunset Amphitheater in McKinney, Texas, and venues under development in El Paso and Webster, Texas, and Chattanooga, Tennessee.
"Most of the outdoor venues fans grew up on were built for a different era of live entertainment," said J.W. Roth, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of VENU. "We're not building amphitheaters in the traditional sense. We're building venues that can operate multi-seasonally on a more-than-music model and become anchors for the communities around them."
The article describes VENU's approach as building "next-generation" venues designed to operate year-round rather than for a traditional limited concert season, a distinction central to the Company's development strategy and omni-content programming model. Municipal participation, through assistance such as contributed real estate and tax incentives, has become a backbone of that strategy, underpinning VENU's rapid expansion across the country.
