Birmingham residents have many different ideas about what the new city of Birmingham will be. $46 million downtown concert venue should be called.

The Birmingham News asked readers “The new concert venue in downtown Birmingham will be called Coca-Cola Amphitheater. What do you think it should be called instead? » on Facebook.

The post received nearly 150 responses as of 10 a.m. Thursday. And everyone seems to have their own ideas, although some say there’s no point speculating about an amphitheater that already has a name.

“Does anyone get to choose their name…?” wrote one commenter.

Some commentators thought the amphitheater should be named after a more local brand.

“It should be called Buffalo Rock Amphitheater, or Grapico Amphitheater, or even Royal Crown Amphitheater. Coca-Cola is an Atlanta thing,” said one comment that received a dozen likes.

Although there were few ideas repeated in the comments section, “Magic City Amphitheater” was the most common response. This was suggested five times in the thread.

The other most common type of comments were ironic references to crime in Birmingham.

“Drive By Amphitheater would be more appropriate,” read one comment that received 25 likes.

“Bullet Vest Amphitheater,” said another who received 10 likes.

Earlier this week, Birmingham surpassed its homicide total for 2023 with more than a month remaining in the year.
