The Longview City Council Work Session on June 5, 2025, spotlighted the proposed amphitheater project, with a maximum capacity set at 10,000 attendees. City officials discussed the venue's design and its potential to attract major artists, emphasizing that a crowd of around 8,500 would create an appealing atmosphere without appearing empty.

Promoters highlighted that reaching 9,100 attendees would significantly enhance the venue's appeal, allowing for performances by top-tier artists like Taylor Swift. The amphitheater's size is considered optimal for touring acts, as it strikes a balance between crowd density and overall experience.

City representatives compared the proposed venue to existing facilities in Irving and McKinney, noting that the design would allow for flexible crowd management. The discussion also touched on the financial aspects of the project, with plans to secure funding through a mix of private investment and public support.

As the project moves forward, city leaders are optimistic about its potential to boost local culture and economy, with further discussions anticipated to refine the development strategy.
