New venue

This article was published on 06.06.19

In downtown Sparks, an amphitheater on the former site of the Silver Club has started looking like an amphitheater. Completion of the $6.2 million project of the Sparks Nugget is planned for this month, with Toby Keith scheduled as the first show on June 15. Hank Williams, Jr. follows on Aug. 15. The structure has occasioned considerable comment because it faces into the afternoon sun.
