The project is expected to be completed by late 2022 or early 2023 and will supplant the resort’s outdoor amphitheater. The Venue at Thunder Valley is being designed by OTJ Architects. The 150,000-square-foot Venue at Thunder Valley is being designed by OTJ Architects, whose work includes renovations of historic live event spaces such as Webster Hall and the Hudson Theater in New York, Cincinnati Music Hall, the Boston Opera House, the Kings Theatre in Brooklyn and the Howard Theatre in Washington, D.C. The venue is expected to be equally attractive to artists playing the space, resort officials say. Now the resort’s owner, the United Auburn Indian Community, has broken ground on a $100 million, 4,500-capacity indoor performance space that will allow the property to offer patrons a venue to take in popular musical, family entertainment, sporting and other events without having to contend with inclement or predictably hot summer weather or things such as wildfire smoke.
