FirstBank Amphitheater

The quarry at the site of the amphitheater had been used in the 1960s during the construction of I-65, and subsequently abandoned with some 800 tons of faulty cement culverts left behind. In 2014, the land was purchased by husband-and-wife business partners Rick and Nancy McEachern, who reportedly cleared 900 tons of trash from the site over the following year and a half. and has since hosted acts such as Zach Bryan, Cody Johnson, Willie Nelson, and Mavis Staples. == Traffic issues ==

Starting with its first concert, FirstBank Amphitheater has faced major traffic problems before and after events, leading to complaints from both neighbors and concert-goers. In 2022, before the amphitheater's second season, CEO Rick McEachern addressed a Thompson's Station Board of Mayor and Alderman meeting to discuss planned fixes, including additional lanes and improved signage. Sold-out events at the venue average about 3,000 private cars. == References ==
