By Emily Ferguson, Westword | The Ford Amphitheater opened in Colorado Springs on August 9 with the first show in a three-night run from OneRepublic; the venue’s owners declared that “there has never been a venue of this magnitude, or this quality, on Earth.”
Apparently, there’s never been a Springs venue this loud to its neighbors, either. According to KDVR, 144 noise complaints were made following the grand opening.
In a statement, the venue’s owners assert that “after monitoring sound all weekend, we were 100 percent in line with our commitments made in the PUD [Planned Unit Development] with the City of Colorado Springs. All our mitigation tactics are operating and working properly. We will report this information to the City as they have requested, and we committed to in our PUD.”
That agreement included ending all concerts on Fridays and Saturdays by 11:30 p.m., and by 10:30 p.m. on Thursdays.
