The owners of the Horseshoe Casino Baltimore in Maryland plan to develop a 4,000-seat concert venue in the city’s proposed entertainment district.
The US$50m venue – named The Paramount Baltimore – would be built between the casino and M&T Bank Stadium, with the aim to attract a variety of musical acts and other entertainers to Baltimore.
The Paramount Baltimore would be built on the site of a dilapidated brick warehouse at 1300 Warner Street, along what is a largely empty corridor. The location is a block away from where officials have announced plans for a proposed high-tech driving range called Topgolf.
The venue would bring another performance space to the city that is close in size to the MECU Pavilion on Pier 6 in the Inner Harbor but far smaller than Royal Farms Arena on the west side of downtown.
“Topgolf and the newly proposed concert venue will be great complements to the entertainment corridor along Warner Street,” said Eric Costello, city councilman for Baltimore. “This area will provide state-of-the-art entertainment amenities to our residents and serve as another regional attraction in Baltimore City.”
