It looks like the plans are moving along sooner than later for the new amphitheater in Grand Junction. Might not outdo Red Rocks, but should be amazing regardless.

The venue is set to start construction this October and hopefully finish by the end of 2017. It will be located inside Las Colonias Park along the Riverside Parkway.

I think we should be excited about this new addition to our community. Imagine what kind of entertainment acts that will be attracted to this new amphitheater.

The only thing I think we need now is a very cool, hip name for it. They are referring to it, right now, as the Las Colonias Amphitheater. No offense to all the Las Colonians out there, but I think this new place needs a name that really stands out, that is memorable and catchy. Without being ridiculous. And without being a corporate sponsor name.

Look at Red Rocks Amphitheater. Everyone knows what that is when someone simply say 'Red Rocks.' So, what would you call it?

Just for inspiration, here's list of names for current venues. Or if you want to go old school, here are some classic Roman amphitheater names.
