Building a Massive Stage in Miami
Before the permanent venues. Before the easy load-ins.
We built it from the ground up.
On the backside of a parking lot in Miami, Oklahoma. Facing east toward what everyone jokingly called “the mushroom field.” No existing infrastructure. No pre-hung rigging. Just open space and a plan.
And it wasn’t a small setup.
It was a massive steel stage.
First time ever building a full steel stage system from scratch. Labor crews. Long days. Layout adjustments. Wind considerations. Electrical runs. Everything had to be calculated. Everything had to hold.
That stage hosted some heavy hitters.
Rascal Flatts
ZZ Top
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Rascal Flatts out there in the open air.
ZZ Top on a custom-built platform in the middle of a parking lot.
Skynyrd came through after that run.
The first Skynyrd show held. The second one, a year later, had its own story.
That’s the thing about building your own stage.
You control it.
You risk it.
You own it.
No permanent amphitheater. No arena walls. Just steel, decking, truss, and trust that you did the math right.
And when the lights came on and the crowd filled in?
It didn’t feel like a parking lot anymore.
It felt like a festival ground.
