They said early August. They intend to have a half season, and go through October, then open in April next year.

Normally I would say they're being optimistic, but Live Nation is involved, so I feel confident they are going to make sure it's open by August, so they can get some mileage out of this year's summer concert season.

Irvine Meadows held around 19K with the lawn, and I would think that the permanent venue will fall somewhere between the interim venue's 12K and that. Comparing this to Gorge or Alpine is ridiculous. Neither of those are in a prime metro area like So Cal, and they also have HUGE lawns, which is why they rarely are filled.
