City of Colorado Springs says it will not release noise data from Ford Amphitheater opening weekend

KOAA News5: Following the Ford Amphitheater’s first concerts over the weekend, the City of Colorado Springs says it is not releasing noise level data captured during the shows to the public, despite concerns from nearby residents.

The city granted the developer of the Ford Amphitheater a special noise permit, allowing the venue to exceed normal city noise limits. The venue cannot exceed 110 decibels more than once during any five-minute period, which is measured about 100 feet from the stage.

During Friday night’s opening concert, News5 spoke to nearby residents concerned about the noise in their neighborhoods. The city said it had employees gathering noise data at the venue over the weekend to determine if levels exceeded the limits. News5 reached out to the city for the noise data, but a city spokesperson said the data could not be released to the public.
