Reporter Brian McVicar at mlive.com covers the big news about the coming outdoor covered arena in Grand Rapids

The planned Acrisure Amphitheater in Grand Rapids, MI

After years of planning and fundraising, a ceremonial groundbreaking for Acrisure Amphitheater, the 12,000-capacity venue that officials say will transform a sprawling stretch of Market Avenue in downtown Grand Rapids, is happening Tuesday.

The venue would have 7,000 fixed seats and 5,000 lawn seats. Its main entrance would be along Market Avenue, and its pedestrian plaza would be open to the public during events and non-events.

In addition to 201 Market Ave. SW, the venue would also occupy 225, 233 and 301 Market Ave. SW. The site is bordered by the Grand River on its west, by Market Avenue on its east, by U.S. 131 on its north and railroad tracks on its south.

The venue is expected to host an estimated 54 events per season, with a projected 300,000 visitors.

Me, I got an allergy to stadiums and arenas named after corporations.

At least the sound of highway noise will drown out whatever shows they have there.

Can't wait. I hope shows there are reasonably priced.
