“Danny Wimmer Presents has been a great partner in helping the city elevate our entertainment game, drawing in thousands of people new to our city. Hotels and restaurants are filled for festival weekends, and the lineup creates exactly the kind of vibe we want to attract people to visit, work and live here. DWP also has committed $500,000 for park improvements over the next ten years, which is of benefit to all park users. The city’s agreement with DWP for its festivals provides that Champions Park be returned to the city in essentially the same shape it was in prior to the events. This weekend was an extraordinary situation, and some Metro staff have been assisting in efforts to get the park ready for Louder than Life. A decision about that will be made later this week, after the rain ends and conditions can be evaluated for safety.”
