The Buddy Holly Hall complex strums a new chord in Lubbock, Texas
As a teenager emerging from the Great Depression, Buddy Holly strummed his guitar in Lubbock, Texas, to dreams of becoming a pioneering figure in American rock n' roll. The music Holly would make several years latershot through with gospel and blues influencesdefinitively enshrined him as an icon of American culture. True to Texas style, the new Buddy Holly Hall of Performing Arts and Sciences commemorates Holly's immense impact through a giant performance venuethe largest in West Texas. When the 218,000-square-foot complex opens to the public, it will offer performance space for the Lubbock Symphony Orchestra and Ballet Lubbock, as well as multipurpose spaces and an outdoor amphitheater for explorative programming opportunities.

I didn't see it in the article, but I hear that the same bunch that did the acoustics, etc. for Carnegie Hall did the same for this facility.

We've been to three concerts in the main hall, and one in the smaller theater. The acoustics are great, but getting around esp. in the smaller theater is a challenge for older folks with walkers and such.
