Abstract:
When Walnut Creek Amphitheater opened in July 1991, it was the state's largest outdoor concert facility, costing $13.5 million to build and seating 20,000. Its peak year for attendance was 1994 when it attracted over 500,000 visitors. However, attendance has dwindled over the years. With the facility now hosting few shows and containing 310 acres of marketable land, the question is--should Raleigh sell the amphitheater?

Abstract:
The new Durham Performing Arts Center advertises that it has a state of the art sound system. However, an investigation has revealed that the center sacrificed sound quality to meet its budget. This may cause acts to rent additional speakers which would place a financial burden on the touring performer. Some were wondering how the center was built so cheaply, and sacrificing sound quality may be one way the city was able to do so.

Abstract:

The design was such that a fire and safety hazard would be caused if patrons needed to leave the area quickly. Hopscotch was one such festival that was almost cancelled until the city came up with a design solution that utilized surrounding buildings and alleyways as natural barriers for events.

Between 2011 and 2014, the state fair lost nearly $900,000 with this strategy. In 2015, fair officials chose to recruit North Carolina bands, a tactic that saved money and appealed to fair attendees.
