Alabama News Center — $50 million amphitheater adds another attraction to Birmingham, Alabama’s, Uptown Entertainment District

By: Barnett Wright

Birmingham’s booming Uptown Entertainment District got another boost recently when the BJCC, along with city officials and amphitheater operator Live Nation, broke ground to begin construction on a new 9,380-capacity amphitheater on the city’s north side.

Recently, forbes.com, a national business media and publishing company, named the Uptown Entertainment District, with its Protective Stadium, renovated Legacy Arena and dining and shopping options, as a Neighborhood to Watch.

And that review came before Monday’s groundbreaking. The $50 million amphitheater will be located near the former Carraway Hospital which is being redeveloped to bring other entertainment, dining, retail and residential options to the Druid Hills neighborhood.
