Project leaders offer first look at Farmer Music Center developmentLike its counterpart next door, Riverbend, the Farmer Music Center will feature a sloped, stadium-style seating structure to provide better sightlines and cleaner sound.
Back in May, MEMI CEO Michael Smith said Farmer Music Center will be one of the best venues in the country. He said it will provide an improved fan experience.
The furthest seat on the lawn is 25 feet closer to the stage than it is at Riverbend," Smith said.
There will be 8,000 reserved seats available, coupled with a synthetic lawn that will provide capacity for up to 12,000 people.
The facility itself will feature more than 300,000 square feet of concourse and club space, with opportunities for guests to purchase drinks and food. MEMI previously said there will be 25 full-service bars and concession stands located across three different levels of the venue, plus multiple grab-and-go kiosks.
Robert McGrath, president and CEO of CSO, told WCPO back in May that they hope it will bring bigger artists to the Queen City.
Everyone, no matter whether youre sitting in the front row or whether youre sitting in the rear of the lawn, will have closer sightlines," McGrath said.
Back in May, CSO and MEMI said the new music venue is projected to generate more than $100 million annually in economic impact, while contributing an estimated $7 million in state tax revenue and $15 million in new city tax revenue over the next 10 years.
