GALLIVAN EXPANSION


Salt Lake Tribune -- Thousands of music fans will gather at the Gallivan Center this summer to see Sonic Youth, M. Ward, The Black Keys and other national acts.

Trouble is, most of them won't actually be able to see the stage.

Salt Lake City hopes to remedy that situation for the 2011 lineup.

The city is in the process of designing a $5.8 million makeover for the popular downtown plaza. Plans call for more than doubling the size of the amphitheater, providing enough space for 4,000 people to ring the stage.

Of course, not everyone will fit into the grassy area -- 10,000 often crowd the park during the Thursday night Twilight Concert Series -- but the design aims to improve sight lines throughout Gallivan.
