Red Rocks Venue Under Fire for Inadequate Severe Weather Protocols

Concertgoers are accusing Denver-owned Red Rocks Amphitheatre of criminal negligence after a hail storm injured nearly 100 people. Attendees claim that venue managers put financial interests ahead of safety when they allowed approximately 6,000 ticketholders to return to their seats after a delay due to lightning. Red Rocks officials are relying on a contractor to tell them when the weather is too dangerous for concerts to continue. The injured concertgoers are seeking to file a criminal negligence claim that they thought might develop into a class action.
