We wouldnt make any money off of the concerts....... And as for performances, we wouldn't get anyone big like spac........ Space can hold up to 40,000 (although its listed as like 25,000) but I don't think you can fit 40,000 people at tge. Anywhere.

you make admission to the park, plus concert admission. plus concessions and parking.

But you are paying the performer a big amount of money to even come to your park. They aren't free. And you don't make money off of the concert tickets....... The concert gets included with park admission.

I doubt the city would allow TGE to have a concert venue. It would simply be too loud and with concerts normally being at night the neighbors would pull a fit. I wouldn't blame them either.

Though a set up more like SFNE with just a stage set up at the end of a field would be inexpensive. nut the noise would still be a problem. The other thing is they would get third rate shows. I doubt they would even get the lower end concert series SFNE gets.

They don't even the shows at SFNE are performers that have not been on the map yet to smaller stars that are part of a local radio concert series.

and it is a lot of space that could be used for something that could hold more capacity and abstraction guests all year.

I actually like the idea a lot, but I don't know that tge is the right place for it. I think that the area that they are storing the tidal wave pieces would be a good spot for bigger concerts. Unfortunately as was mentioned, the neighbors complain a ton as it is.

They have their arena there that they use for concerts. It's actually pretty big.

i was picturing radio stations having their concerts there. Many of them have big name singers, and the power to make them happen.

Great Adventures is very large. it's a actually arena not a field with a stage like SFNE. Though both pail in comparison to SFOG's Concert arena.

THE only way I could see a concert arena working is if Demon came out and it was installed there. It's about the farthest form any housing you can get form the property and the excess parking lot behind the new bridge would allow for concert equipment to be stored/delivered, kept.

But keep in mind a real arena would be around a million plus.
