Birmingham celebrates grand opening of 9,000-seat Coca-Cola Amphitheater
SUMMARY: Birmingham celebrated the grand opening of the new 9,000-seat Coca-Cola Amphitheater, a $50 million public-private partnership built behind the former Carraway Hospital property. The project, developed in just a year, transformed vacant land into a modern concert venue set to host 30 acts by October, with comedian Matt Rife as the inaugural performer. Improvements include new streets, lighting, landscaping, and handicapped-accessible sidewalks. Public safety, parking, and traffic plans are in place, with a free “Uptown Jam Tram” shuttle connecting nearby lots to the venue. The amphitheater is seen as a catalyst for continued community revitalization.
