Right by 75 and Eldorado Parkway, they're building something that looks a lot like a huge outdoor stage or something. What is it?

We've implemented a comprehensive, three-tiered mitigation strategydeveloped by leading national experts and informed by extensive data modeling. This comprehensive approach ensures that sound levels are meticulously controlled to minimize any impact on our surrounding community. Our strategy includes the following components:
Physical Mitigation:
Sound Direction: the venue is strategically placed to project sound away from residential neighborhoods.
Sound Containment: The stage is enclosed by a roof, and two-story, solid surface buildings, creating an effective sound barrier.
Strategic Design: The stage is set within a raised seating bowl with a 80-foot grade, further reducing sound dispersion. Significant addition of wind/sound walls on each side of the bowl will materially decrease sound outside of amphitheater from current projections.
Decibel Control: We mandate pre-set decibel levels within our production standards to maintain consistent sound management.
Strategic Location: Positioning of the venue up US Highway 75 reduces the impact of high frequencies which travel directionally.
Electroacoustic Mitigation:
Focused Sound Distribution: Vertical array speakers are used to direct sound exclusively toward concert attendees, limiting external noise.
Optimized Speaker Placement: Delay cluster speakers are strategically placed to distribute sound evenly within the venue, reducing excess noise.
Height Limitation: The height of sound production is capped at 40 feet, ensuring sound remains within the intended area.
Operational Mitigation:
Real-Time Monitoring: Noise monitoring stations at front of house and property boundary provide live feedback, allowing front-of-house engineers to adjust sound levels during events as necessary.
Curfew Enforcement: All shows adhere to the PUD agreement's curfew, with events concluding by 10:30 PM Sunday through Thursday, and by 11:30 PM on Fridays and Saturdays.
Sound Check Restrictions: To minimize community disruption, sound checks are not permitted before 3:00 PM on weekdays.
