The Rust Belt isn't staying complacent about live concerts and events.  They want to make them bigger and better for the Quad Cities.

Over the weekend, we saw a glimpse of what they are working on to make your concert experience even better.  By a glimpse, I just mean it was a couple of nights and a couple of ways the new video board can be used.  But all it takes is one look to see the possibilities.

Look At The Size Of That Thing

Measuring 30 feet wide by 14 feet tall, the video board takes up almost the entire back of the stage.  However, as you can see, it doesn't take up any stage room at all.

It's as thin as a few layers of bands hoisting their backdrops.  Which is no longer needed when you just upload it to the screens.

For the concert on Friday night (LA Guns), things were kept simple.  The bands simply had their logos up during the sets, and between bands, The Rust Belt just had its own logo.

Or a radio station with too much time can do.  Oh...the wheels are turning for sure!

It's a very cool investment that the Rust Belt has made in the facility.  And one that will pay off in your experience and will pay off in getting more bands in town.

See who is coming next.  Check out the full schedule of shows at The Rust Belt website.
