SPENCER COUNTY, Ind. (WEHT) — After ten years of planning and four phases of construction Lincoln Amphitheatre enters a new chapter.
To meet a demand for tickets and to address aging infrastructure, the venue invested state assistance and its own revenue to make multiple changes. A new entrance was built in 2023. And 2024 welcomed a renovated parking lot and new stormwater system.
Now in 2025 two patios with pub seating and two open-air seating areas are now ready to welcome concertgoers. The amphitheatre's capacity now grows from 1,500 to 2,200.
Venue Director Marc Steczyk says it would not have been possible with public and private partners like meadors construction which took care of all the building's exterior finishes.
'It's just an amazing view at what's going on in the middle of the stage. So, I think once people understand that and they see them in operation, those are going to be among the very best seats in the house.'
Steczyk also mentions a day like this would not have been possible without his family volunteering their time year after year.
It's enough to get choked up ahead of the venue's 38th season with none other than a sold-out show at the amphitheatre Saturday night.
'Your unwavering support and dedication are the backbone of our day of show operational success,' said Steczyk 'For the vast majority of patrons, you have provided the first impression of the Lincoln Amphitheatre. I'm forever grateful.'
