Broken Arrow, Oklahoma is moving closer to completing major infrastructure upgrades in preparation for a new 12,500-seat amphitheater, located near Events Park. City officials report the project is progressing rapidly and remains on schedule.
City-Led Infrastructure Enhancements
The City of Broken Arrow committed to delivering several key infrastructure elements to support the upcoming amphitheater.
Aaron McColloch, the city’s Communications Director, confirmed that nearly all planned upgrades are complete. These include:
- New streets and road access
- A turnpike on-ramp to the Creek Turnpike
- Water and sewer line installations
- Stormwater systems
- Enhanced lighting and sidewalks
Previously, the only access to the amphitheater site was 38th Street, creating logistical challenges. However, the city has since constructed a new road connecting Challenger Park to Events Park, and 43rd Street is now halfway done. The new Creek Turnpike on-ramp is also nearly finished.
Accelerated Construction Timeline
Tom Ashley, President of Venu Real Estate and Development, the developer behind the amphitheater, stated that the project is advancing at a fast pace.
“Construction is well underway, and if you’ve visited the site recently, you’ve likely seen extensive earthwork and structural development,” said Ashley.
“We’re on an accelerated timeline and expect to complete construction by the second quarter of next year.”
Massive Economic Boost Expected
According to the City of Broken Arrow’s official website, the amphitheater is projected to generate a $211 million annual economic impact once operational.
The open-air but covered venue is expected to become a cultural and economic anchor for the region.
Local resident Courtney Keel shared her excitement:
“This is exactly what Broken Arrow needs. It’s going to attract a lot of people to the area.”
With infrastructure work nearly complete and construction on track, Broken Arrow is preparing to welcome a major entertainment destination.
The 12,500-seat amphitheater not only aims to elevate the city’s profile in the region but also promises significant economic benefits and increased tourism.Residents and visitors alike can expect a vibrant new hub for concerts and community events by mid-2026.
