Live Nation Amphitheater

What's the story with this? They supposedly broke ground in January but every time I drive by Horizons Parkway and 635 in Riverside I see no progress (or can even tell exactly where it's going to be).

Its moving forward - Phase 1 was to build the surcharge pad - due to the crappy soil. Surcharge wont be completed until September... Phase 2 which is some parking lots should begin shortly and Phase 3 the actual Amphitheater won't start until Mid September.

Live Nation being sued by the DOJ may but an end to their vertically integrated promotion, ticketing, and venue owner/operator business model.

They may be forced to make changes but they won’t be forced to change their business model. AEG/ASM does the same thing with AXS.

I believe the articles said Ticketmaster spin off is the likely request.
