A group of investors is thinking about building an indoor venue with a seating capacity of around 5,500. That would be combined with an outdoor amphitheater capable of holding up to 8,000 people.
The project would be built near the Sunland Park Racetrack & Casino, and is being explored by a group of investors, one of whom includes a Latino concert promoter and real estate developer from Colorado.
Sunland Park, located in Dona Ana County, borders Texas and the Mexican state of Chihuahua. As planned, the project would be built within the boundaries of the Sunland Park Racetrack & Casino, which was originally opened in 1959.
Future plans are likely to provide details of the ambitious music venture idea as investors and developers meet with City officials to more fully discuss the idea.
