That’s why he’s glad the promoter brought in Brown Note Productions early in the process for the ground-up venue.
In fact, Knutson added, Mission Ballroom is intended to be a new type of concept with regard to staging. But AEG also wanted it to have as much flexibility as possible in terms of what could be presented there, including corporate events, award shows and other live events.” “It’s first and foremost a music venue, and AEG is a major concert producer. “Everything about the venue’s design and the designs of the systems was all about keeping the focus on whatever is onstage, and making everyone in the venue comfortable being there,” Ryan Knutson, President of Brown Note Productions, the AVL integrator for Mission Ballroom, said.
A bowl-like rear-seating area, which has acoustical clouds overhead and sprayed-on thermal and acoustical insulation applied to open areas, flows onto an open dancefloor that can be used for standing or that chairs can be brought onto. Finally, the bars all have multiple point-of-sale (POS) kiosks to keep the drinks and payments moving quickly, thereby allowing patrons to move back into the main room, if they prefer. That goes for anyone who’s at any of the venue’s five bars, all of which were designed to have good sightlines to the stage and which have no architectural impediments to the sound reaching them. I know the Lumineers’ music well, and I could hear every word, every piano line, every subtle tap on the rim of the snare.” The writer for Westword, Denver’s altweekly, who covered the venue’s opening show by Denver transplants the Lumineers, wrote, “he Mission offered clear sound from every part of the room I explored. By contrast, Mission Ballroom drew raves for its sound. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis MN was heavily criticized by arts and leisure sections nationally for its reportedly poor audio after its 2016 opening. For instance, the National Football League (NFL)’s Vikings’ U.S. We live at a time when newspaper articles about new venues routinely include reviews of their sound quality (or the lack thereof). Indeed, it did-and Mission Ballroom passed with flying colors. Specifically, it’s a concert hall-one that The Denver Post’s reviewer said gives the city “finally…the concert venue it deserves.” So, it would be natural to expect the venue’s sound to come under scrutiny early. Owned and managed by the Anschutz Entertainment Group (AEG), Mission Ballroom is first and foremost an entertainment destination.
Notably, Mission Ballroom is the first shot in a larger hospitality venture that soon will cover much of the 14 acres around the venue. The AVL, meanwhile, makes sure the performance sounds and looks as good as it can be, and it makes the patrons as comfortable as they might be at home. That said, it does its core mission very, very well-it creates an environment in which whatever or whoever is on the stage is the focus of the experience. The $10 million-plus, 60,000-square-foot venue, which comfortably holds more than 3,000 people, is an Instagram-ready space with plenty of glitz, boasting lots of neon and large-scale murals. The new Mission Ballroom opened August 7 in Denver CO’s North Wynkoop neighborhood, a nascent entertainment district still bounded by freight-train tracks and factories that continue to lend an air of gritty authenticity. From hipster hotels and high-tech hostels to restaurants like chef Paul Pairet’s Shanghai destination Ultraviolet, where the AV competes with the food for attention, the sector seems determined to create an experience from the moment a patron crosses the threshold.
Every new stop on the hospitality vertical’s relentless march toward terminal hyperbole seems to render the word “ultimate” even more obsolete.
