The Richfield City Council welcomed the idea of building a community bandshell in a worksession held Tuesday night.

Jim Topitzhofer, recreation services director, presented a list of benefits a bandshell could have for the City of Richfield.

"The better the venue, the better the concert performances," Topitzhofer said. He also presented a slide show of other city's current pavillions to discuss potential design ideas.

The council showed positive support for the construction of a bandshell but expressed concerns about the site of the venue. The Lyndale Gardens Center and Veteran's Park, near the southeast corner of the ice arena, are the two locations being considered. 

Councilmember Fred Wroge said the bandshell would need to go to Veteran's Park because of a lack of parking near the Lyndale Gardens Center.

The bandshell would include a 30-by-50-foot stage and seat a minimun of 300 people.The funding plan would also be dependent upon the location.
