Talks around Evansville's Mesker Amphitheatre not dead, not active

EVANSVILLE – Talks over Mesker Amphitheatre aren't active. But they aren't dead, either. That's the purgatorial state of Evansville's historic outdoor venue more than a year after the Board of Park Commissioners accepted a proposal from an outside entity to potentially lease it and raise it from the dead. The person behind that proposal – Tim Drake, owner of The Mill amphitheater in Terre Haute, Indiana – was the only party to express interest during a 60-day window for proposals between July and September of 2025. Talks between Drake and the city apparently stalled, though, and everyone involved has remained tight-lipped ever since . On Monday, Anna Raben, spokeswoman for Mayor Stephanie Terry's office, said "there have been no recent developments in discussions with The Mill." "However, conversations have not been formally closed," she said. "We will share additional information if there are any updates." In a previous email to the Courier & Press, Raben said the city is looking into the possibility of "an" amphitheater. The focus is on "identifying an approach that best serves the community’s long-term interests." Problems at Mesker Amphitheatre None of that is great news for Mesker itself. The 74-year-old venue has hosted everyone from

Nearing The Top Of The Temperature Roller Coaster

EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WFIE) - We’re roughly at the top of the temperature roller coaster and are patiently waiting for the big drop behind Wednesday’s cold front. Showers and some storms will move across the Tri-state Wednesday afternoon and evening after temperatures top out around 70 degrees. Folks along and east of I-69 have the best chance for rain in general, but they also have the better chance for strong-to-severe storms. The severe threat is very conditional. That means if any severe weather parameters weaken even the smallest amount, the severe weather threats decrease to basically zero. If a storm goes severe, a damaging wind gust or two is the most likely scenario; however, a rotating storm could lead to a very weak and brief tornado. That is why Wednesday is a FIRST ALERT day. Again, the chance for even one storm to go severe is exceptionally low.
