Bath County workers are still constructing the 23,000 square foot entertainment venue which is set to open in July, with a capacity of around 8,000 people the first year. Because of the pandemic, Vice said they’ve had to push back the opening date due to regulations and delays of material shipments.

“It has impacted some of the construction, as far as getting materials in a timely manner we were still planning on opening in May, but with the pandemic, and the weather and everything we’ve pushed that back to July the third,” Vice said.
