New Amphitheater To Seat 7,500 At Ruby Hill Park

DENVER (CBS4) - Denver will be getting another concert venue.

On Monday the city announced a new amphitheater for Ruby Hill Park. A nonprofit group called Levitt Pavilions is pledging $1.2 million to help build it. Bond money and private donations will cover the rest of the cost.

The city hopes to break ground on the 7,500 seat amphitheater in 2015. When it opens the following year it will host more than 50 free concerts a year along with other events.
