Pedal Power

On a bike, every mile is a smile -  or so say those who love to go places on two wheels. Thanks to the new greenway extension on the Ballantyne campus, cyclists now have a whole new world of happy trails open to them. 

Opening Act

The Amp Ballantyne™ debuts with community events, big name concerts

The Amp TM Ballantyne, featuring an 88-foot-wide stage and 36-foot-high canopy embedded with ultra-acoustics that faces tiered outdoor seating in a beautifully landscaped green space accommodating 3500 people,  will double as a public park open to the public seven days a week from dawn to dusk.
