Came across an article which details the struggles many older amphitheaters are facing during this current transition within the concert industry. In this instance, Mesa Amphitheater is not facing a challenge from the current economic climate (any more than anyone else, that is), but from its design limitations and competition. Having produced a number of shows at Alpine Valley Music Theatre in Wisconsin (which based on the article had many of loading and production issues as that of Mesa Amphitheaters), I have experienced first hand many of these challenges and can say they do prove detrimental to booking a number of production-heavy events.
However, there may be an upside for those looking to produce smaller or less intensive events - such older buildings offer professional-quality space at a great rate, and will likely bend over backwards for you if you can bring much needed exposure.
