Germain Coming Down

The abandoned Germain Amphitheatre in Columbus, Ohio, which is now more of a farm and a demolition zone, will soon be coming down.

The former Live Nation shed was bought by Polaris Centers of Commerce developer NP earlier this year for $5.5 million and all of the ancillary buildings on the site were removed in recent weeks, according to the Columbus Business Journal.

The steel amphitheatre itself is scheduled to disappear in the next few weeks.

A farmer has planted soybeans on the area that was once used for parking, NP’s managing director Franz Geiger told the Journal. “A lot of it is very tillable because it was just parked on for years,” he said. The last summer concert series was in 2007.
