The $10-million, 19,500-seat is the center of controversy, especially among residents of nearby Bloomington, MN, who fear the amphitheater will generate unwanted noise and air pollution and traffic congestion. The Metropolitan Significance Review Committee met late last week to render findings, conclusions and recommendations to the fullMetropolitan Council on the metropolitan significance of the proposed Black Dog Amphitheater in Burnsville.

The committee wants its lawyer to review a list of conditions with the amphitheater's developers before it makes any recommendations.

The review committee held a formal public hearing last month to help determine whether the proposed amphitheater could have a "substantial adverse physical effect on existing or proposed land use or development" in the city of Bloomington with respectto noise pollution.

The developer is Rose Wild LLC, a joint partnership between the Minnesota Wild professional hockey and concert promoter Rose Presents.

A recommendation is expected to go to the full Metropolitan Council later this month.
