The project has received opposition from some community members and city officials.[3][4][5] According to Portland Monthly, "news of Live Nation coming to Portland riled a significant and vocal portion of the local scene." The magazine said Jamie Dunphy was the most vocal opponent.[6]
History
The city approved development in mid 2024.[7] In September 2024, a board of commissioners for Prosper Portland approved the sale of a vacant city lot for the venue.[8][9] The building permit was issued in September 2025. Colas Construction and Beam Development will construct the venue, which was designed by Lever Architecture.[10]
