Log Jam organizers outline safety, parking and venue changes for 2025 season
Summary
Log Jam operations staff told the Bonner Community Council they plan a smaller season, clearer parking flow, staffed lot monitoring, a clear-bag policy and reconfigured box seating for VIP experiences.
Emily, director of operations for Log Jam, briefed the council on logistical changes for the coming season: a smaller schedule of shows, a reconfigured entrance/exit to reduce pedestrian conflicts, more staff for on-site parking control and a clear-bag policy.
"The change was really inspired by just pedestrian safety," Emily said, describing an adjusted entrance to let pedestrians cross without passing in front of exiting cars and staff positioned near White House Lane on event days.
She reported 23 confirmed shows so far and estimated final season totals in the "high twenties," down from 38 shows last year. She said the venue will reserve a previously box-holder lot for paid shuttle parking and encouraged shuttle use for safety.
Organizers are reconfiguring box seating into smaller group boxes to provide a more upscale VIP option while still offering larger-group rentals. Emily said over 100 returning staff members are expected to work the season.
On security, Emily said the venue will adopt a clear-bag policy "for safety and expedited processing" and sell approved clear bags on site; small non-clear bags such as fanny packs will still be allowed but searched. She also said the venue will continue to pursue larger shows via Live Nation relationships and will select fewer, more profitable acts.
Council members asked about staffing for overflow parking and vendor applications; Emily said vendor applications are online and she will share the link with council contacts.
No formal action or vote on Log Jam matters was taken at the meeting.
