There has been a lot of speculation about when the Spectrum will host its final event.
The likely answer is Sept. 30, on the 42nd birthday of the building. It will be some sort of gala concert to wish goodbye to America’s showplace, with many of the artists who played there over the years coming into town to play a song or two as a tribute to the old barn. It will be razed sometime after that, perhaps on New Year’s Eve as part of a calendar-flipping celebration. One thing is certain &ndash it will be gone. It will disappear from sight, the way its old neighbor Veterans Stadium did five years ago. You must be logged in to post a comment. Do not use usernames or passwords from your financial accounts!
