When you have over 1.75 million people visit your venue in a single year like Red Rocks Amphitheatre did in 2025, I assume you probably have some spending money…

Red Rocks is putting some of that profit back into the business during the 2026 offseason. $3 million to be exact.

A merchandise stand and an east terrace used for security checks and scanning are what crews will be putting into place, with plans to be finished by April before the 2026 concert season begins.
