NEW SOUND MITIGATION EFFORTS ARE COMING TO THE FORD AMPHITHEATER IN COLORADO SPRINGS. ACCORDING TO COLORADO CITY COUNCIL THE COMPANY THAT OWNS THE AMPHITHEATER, VENU, IS BUIDLING TWO SOUND WALLS ON THE NORTH AND SOUND END ALONG WITH A SOUND TUNNEL AT ITS ENTRY. THESE NEW ADDITIONS ARE IN EFFORT TO DIRECT SOUND AWAY FROM SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOODS. MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS CAME FROM RESIDENTS SAYING THEY COULD HEAR THE MUSIC FROM CONCERTS IN THEIR HOME. THREE NEW SOUND MONITORING SYSTEMS WILL ALSO BE INSTALLED TO MAKE SURE SOUND LEVELS ARE IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE CITY. IF THEY EXCEED THE SET LEVELS THE OWNERS OF THE FORD AMPITHEATRE WILL BE FINED.
