Macon-Bibb County is moving forward with its construction of an amphitheater next to Macon Mall.
County leaders approved working with TVS, Piedmont Construction Group, Stage Front, and HGOR for the design and build.
Macon-Bibb Mayor Lester Miller says the new amphitheater will help attract visitors to the county.
Renderings of the property show the new venue will accommodate around 10,000 people.
“You’ll also have some VIP seating and boxed suites,” Miller said. “Something that people have been asking for, for a while, that’s going to stand out. I don’t think any amphitheater in Georgia has that, so it’s going to be one of a kind. It’s going to be complimented by restaurants on the outside, several concessions as well.”
I am liking the enthusiasm around this. Easy interstate access for those visiting from out of town is a nice bonus.
I do hope the covered seating area is very large though. With sunset at 9pm in the summer, any event from May to August will begin during the blazing heat of the evening. Anyone who lives here is used to sweating, but going to Macon Bacon baseball games in summer has taught me that even 7pm sun can still be rough!
