  • Merriweather Post Pavilion
    Citizen Advisory Panel on Merriweather Post Pavilion Final Report Introduction On August 12, 2004, County Executive Jim Robey signed Executive Order No. 2004-03 (attached as Appendix 1), which appointed 16 leaders of the business and arts communities in Howard County to serve on the Merriweather Citizens Advisory Panel (the Panel). He asked the Panel to advise him on whether Howard County (the County) should purchase Merriweather Post Pavilion from The Rouse Company (now General Growth Properties (GGP)), which had announced that Merriweather was for sale provided that the purchaser agrees to meet certain provisions. He asked the Panel to answer five questions: 1. Is there a public service purpose for Howard County to purchase Merriweather Post Pavilion? 2. If there is a public service purpose for the County to purchase Merriweather, what should be the primary purpose of the facility (e.g., a concert venue, an all-purpose arts facility, etc.), what other activities should be permitted and what organizations should have access? 3. Does Merriweather need to be renovated, and if so what type and scope of renovation would be necessary for it to most successfully and effectively achieve the determined primary purpose? 4. What type of management and control structure should be put into place for the operation of this facility? 5. What level of public oversight should exist? In addition, the County solicited proposals for consultant services for a “Feasibility study associated with the possible purchase and renovation of Merriweather Post Pavilion.” The County received five proposals it deemed to be acceptable. Following interviews with the firms that submitted those proposals, the County hired the team of Ziger/Snead LLP Architects, Webb Management Services, Inc.

  • Claire Rothman: She Rules the Forum
    CLAIRE ROTHMAN: SHE RULES THE FORUM By JUDITH MICHAELSON MAY 28, 1985 12 AM TIMES STAFF WRITER I think everybody can hear me; I’m not exactly quiet. .I am the only woman in the United States who runs a major sports arena. I have a variety of duties. I book the building. I schedule the sports. The box office answers to me, all the staffing answers to me, and at night I get to play hostess. --Claire Rothman, in a speech. It was the morning after the opening night of the Prince concerts, and the hostess at one of the “biggie” entertainment nights of the year was beaming as brightly as any neon light. Claire Rothman, general manager and vice president of the Forum, arrived full of tidbits about her Forum guests: Elizabeth Taylor’s ring was “the size of an ice cube. I met her son Michael. He has eyes just like hers.” The ring was such that Rothman decided to assign a Forum security guard to Taylor, who was sitting in the front row and wearing a curly black wig. Barry Manilow, who wore earplugs during the concert, was chatting with the Nederlanders, as the father-and-son producers (Jimmy Sr. and Jr.) are known about town, and Rothman asked when Manilow might work the Forum again. When Manilow half-jokingly asked why she would make a pitch in front of the competition, Rothman replied, “I’m cuter,” and laughed in the retelling. Barbra Streisand, who had a new escort, barely said a word. Olivia Newton-John, Tatum O’Neal and Jack Nicholson, who is a regular at Lakers basketball games, attended the Forum Club’s preconcert party too, but it didn’t take long for Rothman to get down to business.

    GIBSON AMPHITHEATRE TAKES A BOW RENOWNED LOS ANGELES VENUE WILL CLOSE ITS DOORS FOR THE FINAL TIME IN SEPTEMBER 2013 VERY SPECIAL GRAND FINALE CONCERT LINEUP PLANNED AS A CELEBRATION OF ITS ILLUSTRIOUS HISTORY (Los Angeles, CA / Wednesday – April 24, 2013) This fall, a celebrated chapter in Los Angeles’ rich musical history will come to a close when the Gibson Amphitheatre shuts its doors in September. The landmark venue will cease operations at that time due to the end of the building’s lease agreement. As a celebration of the many legendary artists who have played its stage and the tremendous performances that have thrilled millions of fans, Live Nation’s Southern California office will assemble a very special lineup of shows as a fitting farewell. More details will be announced soon. “We, like music lovers across Los Angeles, will miss Gibson Amphitheatre,” said Bret Gallagher, President of North American Concerts, Southern California/Las Vegas. “It is a tremendous venue with a uniquely intimate setting that has made it a very special place for fans and artists alike. The list of musicians that have played here is simply staggering. We are honored to have been a part of its remarkable story. While a change like this is difficult, we look forward to putting together a series of great shows that will celebrate everything about this marvelous building.” Fans with tickets to shows that are scheduled after September 2013 should hold on to them. Live Nation is currently working on moving these events into other venues and will notify fans when there is more information.
