WELCOME AMPHITHEATER

Your recent article on the new amphitheater in Virginia Beach explained exactly what an amphitheater is like.

I used to live in Cincinnati, where Riverbend Amphitheater was loved by all. We'd see Jimmy Buffett and dozens of other stars every summer.

I've been to the Classic Amphitheater in Richmond, and it's worth the 100-mile drive.

It will be a big day for people in Hampton Roads when the Virginia Beach Amphitheater opens.
