Aire Plex

Cass County, Nebraska

In an effort to fill an entertainment void in outdoor music and theatrical performances in eastern Nebraska and western Iowa, Chip Davis and Sound Track, Incorporated adn developing a complex of spaces to be known as "Aire Plex." Designed for a site on Interstate 80 located roughly midway between Omaha and Lincoln, Nebraska, the center piece of the complex is a 20,000 seat amphitheatre that will sit on a natural slope down to the Platte River. The objective is to take advantage of the natural earth shapes and to retain the beauty of the features inherent to the site. At the river a 9,000 seat arena will be built and will use the Amphitheatre stage. The arena at the riverside will allow for winter production and will also serve as a film and recording studio for the popular Chip Davis (American Gramaphone) Christmas shows that are a feature of national television broadcast each holiday season.
