viduals. Our venues, our events, are more broadly about the concept of bringing people together. Sharing concert experiences, creating fam- ily memories, joining together with a goal in mind, or simply to relax with friends and have a good time. Having a place to gather with family and friends. How do we behave like good neighbors? Mr. Rogers made everyone
immediate solutions, in which case we need to always make ourselves available, and they should be addressed right away. At the same time, we need to build relationships with our neighbors and maintain ongoing communication in two ways. First, by sharing always communicate the
feel welcome in his neighbor- hood, right? This includes our event attendees as well as our everyday neighbors. All are welcome. We are trying to achieve balance between the disrup- tion of our events in the nor- mal routines of our neighbors, and at the same time commu- nicate to them that our goal is really to help them as well. We’re creating a platform, many opportunities that are the build-
ing blocks of shared experience that enhance the Community (big “C”) overall, while avoiding the things that can sometimes inconve- nience our neighbors, our community (little “c”). Good communication is clearly important. If we remain open to hearing the concerns of our neighbors and do our best to accommo- date where possible, that can be very helpful. Some concerns have
dates and details of our events, and the ways they may directly impact our neighbors, so that they can prepare themselves. It’s the outdoor, open space
of our amphitheaters and fair- grounds that creates the ideal setting for these gatherings and encourages a feeling of com- munity. This is what makes our ven-
others in the IAVM. As won- derful as the other sectors/ven- ues are, Arenas, Convention
Centers, Performing Arts Centers, Stadiums and Universities don’t have quite the same ability. Not in the same way. The community we’re helping to build makes working through the unique challenges we have with our neighbors very worthwhile.
