Tuscaloosa Amphitheater
City of Tuscaloosa
The City of Tuscaloosa recently opened the gates to the new Tuscaloosa Amphitheater, overlooking the Black Warrior River northwest of downtown. Davis placed the proscenium stage, flanking support buildings, and seating for 7,470 to create a welcoming compound that will host a wide range of events. Located on a 15-acre site along the city’s riverwalk, the amphitheater adds a dynamic new anchor to the linear park with its 3 miles of trails, picnic shelters and other features. A monumental entrance, framed by walls of native sandstone, exposed steel structural elements, and metal panels, leads to the bowl of tiered seating. The support buildings that house concessions, restrooms, and other functions are fronted by steel-framed porticos that shelter pedestrian circulation and dining areas.
