In Colorado, it's up to building inspectors to look at the issue.

Smaller, portable stages at the Colorado State Fair in Pueblo don't receive inspections. The larger stage at the fair is permanent. It's not subject to inspections, either.

Big, covered stages at Dick's Sporting Goods Park do receive inspections. Because of the threat of down bursts, Commerce City requires a licensed engineer to look at stage plans.

The engineer must accompany a building inspector who looks at the stages before issuing a permit.
